Genetic relations

The Panoan family is related to the Tacanan family, which together comprise the Pano-Tacanan family. Some other languages reported in Campbell (1997: 190) have been associated with the Panoan family, but their relationship to Panoan is still undetermined:

* Panavarro
* Purus
* Arazaire
* Cujareno (in Peru)
* Katukina Pano (=Yawanawa ?) (in Brazil)
* Maya (in Brazil)
* Mayo (in Peru ?)
* Morunahua (a.k.a. Morunawa) (in Peru)
* Nukuini (a.k.a. Nuquini) (in Brazil)
* Pisabo (a.k.a. Pisagua, Pisahua) (in Peru)
* Uru-eu (in Brazil)

For more information see also Shell (1975: 14), Miglizza & Campbell (1988: 189-190), Rodrigues (1986: 77-81).

Gordon (2005) lists "Waninnawa" as an alternate name for Panoan Katukína, presumably the same language as Campbell's Katukina Pano. Nukuini is listed as an unclassified language within a South-Central Panoan branch. Pisabo is listed with 513 speakers (and not extinct) and is grouped with Mayoruna-Matsés on a "Northern Panoan" branch. Gordon (2005) also includes the following language as distinct from Katukina Pano/Panoan Katukína:

* Yawanawa (a.k.a. Iauanauá, Jawanaua, Yahuanahua) (in Brazil)

Gordon (2005) includes Shinabo as an extinct language that probably did not exist, the people may have been a sub-group of the Chácobo.
