Terêna has an active–stative syntax[4] and verb-object-subject as default word order.[5]

Varieties edit

Terêna had four varieties: Kinikinao, Terena proper, Guaná, and Chané. These varieties have sometimes been considered to be separate languages.[6] Carvalho (2016) has since demonstrated all four to be the same language.[7] Only Terena proper is still spoken.

Language contact edit

Terena originated in the Northwestern Chaco.[8] As a result, many Northern Guaicuruan loanwords can be found in Terena.[9]

There are also many Tupi-Guarani loanwords in Terena and other southern Arawakan languages.[10]

Phonology edit

Consonants edit

/w, ʃ, n, l/ may often be heard as [v, tʃ, ɲ, ʎ].[11]

Vowels edit

[ɨ] is heard as an allophone of /i/.[12]
