The chart includes 'Karipuna', a name used for more than one language variety in South America. It cites Crevels 2012 as a source. Crevels does indeed refer to Karipuna, which she says was spoken by 10 people in Brazil as of 2004. However, Crevels does not say that Karipuna is Tupían. Based on other sources I surmise that
Nheengatu is a Tupían language that is sometimes called Karipuna, but it is spoken by a few thousand people in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. I further understand that Jau-Navo (
Chakobo language) is a Panoan language sometimes called Karipuna, and spoken by fewer than a thousand people. It's not clear which of these the chart intends – or perhaps it's neither of them?

Does she? I only saw it in the chart of endangered languages of Brazil, but I might well have been skimming too quickly. One of the dialects treated at Kagwahiva does seem likely.
