Purian (also Purían) is a pair of extinct languages of eastern Brazil:
- Purí
- Coroado Puri (AKA Colorado)
Coropó (Koropó), once spoken in Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, was added by Campbell (1997), but removed again by Ramirez et al. (2015).
Purian is part of the Macro-Jê proposal. However, when Coropó is removed, there are not sufficient lexical connections to maintain this classification.[1]
