Mure is an extinct language of Bolivia.
Classification
It was long considered a Chapacuran language, but the similarities are few, and are likely loans, as the Mure were missioned together with speakers of Chapacuran languages. Apart from those few words, the languages are "utterly different" according to Glottolog,[2] a view that is shared by Birchall (2013).[3] Other sources maintain that Mure is Chapacuran.[4]
Geographical distribution
The Mure lived in the Jesuit Missions of Moxos. They mostly resided in San Simón Mission, with some also living in San Francisco de Borja Mission together with the Movima. Neighbors of the Mure included the Rokorona.[5]
