 * The 2nd is correct. Don't remember the 1st. Can be verified by classification at Upper Amazon Arawakan, which should also be properly ref'd. — kwami (talk) 00:10, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Other sources

 * Cambell, in Campbell, Lyle. (2012) "Classification of the indigenous languages of South America." The indigenous languages of South America: A comprehensive guide Berlin : De Gruyter Mouton, pp. 59–166. says it is certain that Achagua is a dialect [sister] of Maipure citing Felipe Salvador Gilij (1965) Ensayo de Historia Americana, Volume 1.
 * Greenberg, Joseph H. (1987) Languages in the Americas Stanford University Press ISBN:978-0-8047-1315-3, groups Maipure with the Tupian languages. --Bejnar (talk) 22:26, 11 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Cambell supports Aikhenvald. It would be nice to update the Achawa article - maybe I'll get to it if you don't. But Greenberg is not a RS (and I would assume he was talking about Maipurean, not just Maipure). — kwami (talk) 00:46, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, Campbell quotes Gilij, without evaluating the claim, and the fact that Gilij doesn't know what a letter or a dialect are doesn't inspire confidence.
