Baré (Barawana) is anArawakan language ofVenezuela andBrazil, where it is nearly extinct. It is spoken by theBaré people. Aikhenvald (1999) reports "just a few old speakers left" of Baré proper, and that the Guinau variety was extinct.^[2] Kaufman (1994) considers Baré proper, Guinau, andMarawá (now extinct) to be distinct languages; Aikhenvald, dialects of a single language. (Marawá is not the same language asMarawán.)

Baré is a generic name for a number of Arawakan languages in the area, includingMandahuaca,Guarequena,Baniwa, andPiapoco. Barawana is the language given this name in Kaufman, Aikhenvald, andEthnologue. It is also known as Ibini (a typo for Ihini ~ Arihini?) and Mitua.

• /a/ is heard as a back sound[ɑ] when after /w/.

• Sounds /t, n/ are realized as dentalized and palatal[t̪][ɲ] before and after /i/.
• /d/ is realized as an affricate[d͡ʒ] before front vowels.
• /ɾ/ can tend to fluctuate to a velarized[ɫ] in free variation.^[3]
