Masakará is an extinct language related to Kamakã. It is one of the Macro-Jê languages of Brazil.[1] It was once spoken south of the city of Juazeiro and at the old mission of Saco dos Morcegos (present-day Mirandela, Banzaê, near Ribeira do Pombal, Bahia State).[2] The district of Massacará in Euclides da Cunha, Bahia is named after the tribe. Martins (2007)[3] classifies Masakará as the most divergent of the Kamakã languages.
