Ticuna–Yuri is a small family, perhaps even adialect continuum, consisting of at least two, and perhaps three, known languages of South America: the major western Amazonian languageTicuna, the poorly attested and extinctYurí, and the scarcely known language of the largely uncontactedCarabayo, which may be a descendant of . Kaufman (2007: 68) also addsMunichi to the family.^[2]

Kaufman (1990, 1994) argues that the connection between the two is convincing even with the limited information available. Carvalho (2009) presented "compelling" evidence for the family (Campbell 2012).^[3]

Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with theAndoke-Urekena,Arawak,Arutani,Máku, andTukano language families due to contact.^[4]
