Paratió (also called Prakió) is an extinct and poorly attested language of northeastern Brazil, known only through wordlists published in 1958. It appears to have been related to Xukuru, and may have been a dialect, according to Glottolog. However, there is very little evidence to determie this relationship (Campbell 2024).
