Tremembé,Teremembé orTaramembe is anextinct and unattested language ofBrazil. It was originally spoken by theTremembé people, who once inhabited the northern Brazilian coasts fromPará toCeará. The Tremembé were described as a "Tapuia" tribe - that is, not one of the dominantTupi–Guarani peoples of the coasts. It was thought "very likely" to belong to theMacro-Jê languages byJohn Alden Mason.[1] Only a few personal names of this language were recorded before it became extinct in the early 19th century.[2]
