Panará (Panará panãra pẽẽ [panə̃ˈɾa ˈpẽj̃] : 131 ), also known as Kreen Akarore (from Mẽbêngôkre Krã jakàràre [ˈkɾʌ̃ jaˈkʌɾʌɾɛ]) and spelled Panãra, is a Jê language spoken by the Panará people of Mato Grosso, Brazil. It is a direct descendant of Southern Kayapó. Although classified as a Northern Jê language in earlier scholarship,: 547 Panará differs considerably from the Northern Jê languages in its morphosyntax: 454 and has been argued to be a sister language to Northern Jê rather than a member of that group.
