Kambiwá aka Cambioá is an extinct unclassified language of Brazil. A couple dozen words were collected from two people in the 1960s, but by that time no-one spoke the language any longer. Apart from two apparent borrowings, none of the words are relatable to known languages. Loukotka (1968) characterized the language as unclassifiable due to lack of data.
