Cumana (Kumaná) is a possibly extinct Chapacuran language. Various names ascribed to the language in Campbell & Grondona (2012) are Torá, Toraz (distinguish Torá language), and Cautario, the last perhaps after the local river, and Abitana-Kumaná (distinguish Abitana dialect).
In addition, there is a Chapacuran language called Kujubim (Kuyubí, Cojubím), which may still be spoken. The endonym, Kaw To Yo (Kaw Tayó), may be the source of the river and language name Cautario.[1] Sources which list one do not list the other, so these may be the same language.[3]
