Parkatêjê, or Pará Gavião, is a Timbira variety of the language family of Brazil. It is spoken by 12:10 individuals in Terra Indígena Mãe Maria (Bom Jesus do Tocantins, Pará). It is closely related to Kỳikatêjê, spoken by another Timbira group in the same reservation. Parkatêjê has been described and documented by Leopoldina Araújo and, more recently, by other researchers from the Federal University of Pará.
