Avane (Abane), one of several languages called Baniwa, also known as Baniva Yavitero,[1] was an Arawakan language of Venezuela. It is believed to have become extinct around the late 18th century, and is only attested in a short word-list from that time.[2]
History
It was primarily spoken in the Amazonas region of Venezuela and along the Colombian border, and had dialects called Quirruba[1] and Baniva-Avani.[3]
The language likely began deteriorating with the arrival of the Jesuits in the late 18th century.
The Avane language included a colloquial name to refer to the neighboring indigenous Maipure people, Script error: No such module "Lang"., which may be humorously alluding to the polysyllabic nature of many Maipure words and contains two sounds not usually found in Avane.[2] The language also shares some words with others in the same family, including Maipure and Guipunave, but is clearly phonetically distinct.[2]
Phonology
Avane is characterized phonetically in comparison to Maipure, showing some large differences. Avane uses the dental stop [d], which is not seen in Maipure but is native to Yavitero and Baniva. It uses the glottal fricative [h] ([x]) before [i] and/or [a], where Maipure would use [t], [k], and [j]. Also unlike Maipure, the Avane diphthongs [ai] and [au] do not appear to be contracted in stressed syllables.[2] Ethnographer Gilij described the Avane pronunciation as "rude, guttural" compared to the Maipure's "gentle, beautiful" version.[4]
Morphology
In morphology, Avane is seen as close to Maipure, with both using the "empty morph" suffix "Script error: No such module "Lang"." for certain active and mainly intransitive verbs.[2]
