Wayumara (Waiyamara)[2][3][4] is an extinct and poorly attested Cariban language. Kaufman (2007) placed it in his Makiritare branch as a close relative of Ye'kuana,[5][6] but his classification is outdated.[7] Glottolog groups the language in the Guianan Carib branch, following Girard (1971),[8] in a subgroup with Ye'kuana.[9]
