Amazonian Languages - Volume 1: Language Isolates I: Aikanã to Kandozi-Shapra - An International Handbook

This handbook provides the first broadly comprehensive, typologically-informed descriptive overview of the languages of Greater Amazonia. Organized by genealogical units, the chapters provide empirically rich descriptions of the phonology and grammar of all Amazonian families and isolates for which data and descriptions exist. Volume 1 focuses on the many isolates of the region - those languages for which no extant sisters can be identified.
