Mataguayo–Guaicuru,Mataco–Guaicuru orMacro-Waikurúan is a proposedlanguage family consisting of theMataguayan andGuaicuruan languages. Pedro Viegas Barros claims to have demonstrated it.[1][2][3] These languages are spoken in Argentina, Brazil,Paraguay, andBolivia.
Jorge Suárez linked Guaicuruan andCharruan in aWaikuru-Charrúa stock. Kaufman (2007: 72) has also addedLule–Vilela andZamucoan,[4] whileMorris Swadesh proposed aMacro-Mapuche stock that included Matacoan, Guaicuruan, Charruan, and Mascoyan. Campbell (1997) has argued that those hypotheses should be further investigated, though he no longer intends to evaluate it.[5]
Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with theArawakan,Tupian,Trumai, andOfayé language families due to contact, pointing to an origin of Proto-Mataguayo-Guaicuruan in the UpperParaguay River basin.[6]: 439
