要旨:
Awetí is the mother tongue of about 140 speakers living in two villages in the Xingú Indigenous Park, Mato Grosso, Brazil. They belong to the Upper Xingú region which is famous for its multi-lingual setting: ten peoples speak 6 different languages belonging to 4 unrelated linguistic families (Arawak, Karib, Tupí, and a linguistic isolate, Trumai). Nevertheless, the groups of the region share many aspects of their culture, including material culture, rituals, myths and other traditions. Two of the neighbouring languages, Kuikuro (Karib) and Trumai, are also being documented by DOBES projects.
