The Omagua is a well-marked Tupi dialect. Adam has shown the grammatical
concordances clearly (_Compte-Rendu du Cong. des Amer._, 1888, p. 496).
The Yarura and Betoya reveal faint resemblances in the words for “sun”
and “tongue”; but not enough to justify assuming a relationship. Their
grammars are quite unlike, that of the Yarura preceding by suffixes, that
of the Betoya by prefixes (see Müller, _Sprachwissenschaft_, Bd. II., Ab.
I., s. 361).
The Correguaje shows less analogy to the Betoya in the above vocabulary
than in a more extended comparison. The word for water, _ocŏ_, reappears
in a number of dialects not akin to this stock, and is perhaps allied to
the Chinchasuyu _yacu_ (see _anté_, p. 205).
