Omurano Spoken in Peru Ethnicity Maina Extinct 1958 Language family unclassified
(Yawan?)Language codes ISO 639-3 omu Omurano is an unclassified extinct language from Peru. It is also known as Humurana, Roamaina, Numurana, Umurano, and Mayna.
Tovar (1961) linked Omurano to Taushiro (and later Taushiro with Kandoshi); Kaufman (1994) finds the links reasonable, and tentatively proposes a Kandoshi–Omurano–Taushiro language family. In 2007 he classified Omurano and Taushiro (but not Kandoshi) as a Yawan language. (See Macro-Andean.)
