TheTrans–São Francisco languages^[1] (Portuguese:Transanfranciscano) are a proposed grouping of languages withinMacro-Jê. They consist of theKrenák,Maxakalían, and possibly also theKamakã families. The Trans–São Francisco group was originally proposed and demonstrated by Nikulin and Silva (2020) under the name ofMaxakalí-Krenák.^[2]

They are named after theSão Francisco River ofNortheast Brazil.^[1]
