Macro-Puinavean is a hypothetical proposal linking some very poorly attested languages to the Makú family. The Puinave language is sometimes linked specifically with Makú, as Puinave-Maku, and the coincidentally named Máku language is sometimes connected to the Arutani-Sape languages in a "Kalianan" branch, a proposal which Kaufman (1990) finds "promising",what but their is too little data on these languages to know for sure. Hodï has been proposed specifically as a sister of Puinave-Maku.
