Wamo–Chapakúra is a proposed connection between the largely extinctChapacuran language family and the otherwiseunclassified language Wamo (orGuamo). Kaufman (1990) finds the connection convincing.
Below is a comparison of Guamo (1778 word list[1]) with Proto-Chapacuran reconstructions from Angenot (1997).[2]
