Harákmbut–Katukinan languages
Harákmbut–Katukinan is a language family linking the South American indigenous language families Harákmbut and Katukinan. There is reasonably good evidence that the two are related. Glottolog does not accept it, stating that the pronouns, numerals, or bound morphology are not cognate. Jolkesky also adds Arawan to the family.
