Emerillon language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Emerillon Region	French Guiana Ethnicity	Emerillon people Native speakers	400 (2001)[1] Language family	Tupian Tupi–Guaraní Wayampí Emerillon Language codes ISO 639-3	eme Glottolog	emer1243 Teko ELP	Emerillon Emerillon (alternate names Emerilon, Emerion, Mereo, Melejo, Mereyo, Teco) is a Tupi–Guarani language spoken in French Guiana on the rivers Camopi and Tampok. The Emerillon people refer to their language as Teke and it is mutually intelligible to Wayampi a language indigenous to French Guiana and Brazil.[2]

Emerillon is only used along the French Guiana borders with Surinam and Brazil. There are only four hundred Emerillon speakers in the world. Although there are a limited number of speakers, Emerillon is still taught as a first language to children.[2] Its name derives from mereñõ, a name given to members of the Emerillon tribe. They often refer to themselves as the Teko people which translates to "human being" in Wayãpi.[3]

Orthography Emerillon is spelt phonetically based on the International Phonetic Alphabet, and not according the French orthography.[4] The spelling uses the letter ɨ for the close central unrounded vowel between i and u.[5] e is always pronounced é, vowels with a tilde are always nasal (ã, ẽ, ĩ, õ, ũ), ö is like the German O umlaut, and b is prenounced mb. All letters are pronounced.[5]
