Guariba Arára (Arara do Rio Guariba, or Arara of Guariba River) is a poorly attested Tupian language of the Monde branch. It is spoken on the Guariba River in the northern part of Aripuanã Indigenous Park of Rondônia and Mato Grosso, Brazil.
According to Moore (2005), Arara do Rio Guariba is closely related to the Cinta Larga dialect cluster, and also shares some features with Suruí.[1] 26 words were collected by Hargreaves in 2001.[2] It remains unclassified due to the lack of data.
