Names
The term Pidjanan was coined by Sérgio Meira (2019) from Wapishana pidan ‘people’, as can be seen in the ethnonyms Wa-pishana and Mao-pidian.[2]
They are referred to as Mapidianic in Glottolog 4.3, and as Rio Branco by Nikulin & Carvalho (2019: 270).[3]
Languages
According to Meira (2019), the Pidjanan languages are:[2]
- Mawayana (Mapidian, Maopidian), spoken by a dozen elderly people living in ethnic Waiwai and Tiriyó villages in Brazil and Suriname
- Wapishana, spoken by over 6,000 people on both sides of the Guyana-Brazil border
- ? Atorad (Atorai)
Wapishana is more conservative, while Mawayana has innovated more from Proto-Pidjanan.[2]
Ramirez's (2019) classification is:[1]:562
Parawana and Aroaqui are closely related, and may be the same language.[1]
