Aroaqui (Aroaki) is an extinct Arawakan language of Brazil that was spoken in the lower Rio Negro region, probably on the banks of the Cuieiras River. [1] [2] Some Aroaqui groups were also located around the mouth of the Amazon River near Macapá. [1]: 14
A word list of Aroaqui was collected by Johann Natterer (1832) in Airão. [1]
Aroaqui and Parawana are closely related, and may be the same language. [1]
