Madí—also known as Jamamadí (Yamamadí, Yamamandi, Yamadi) after one of its dialects, also Kapaná or Kanamanti (Canamanti)—is an Arawan language spoken by about 800 Jamamadi people scattered over Amazonas, Brazil. The language has an active–stative clause structure with an agent–object–verb or object–agent–verb word order, depending on whether the agent or object is the topic of discussion (AOV appears to be the default). The sentence Jose caught the piranha would therefore come out as piranha Jose caught if the speakers were discussing pinanha, and as Jose piranha caught if the speakers were discussing Jose. The dialects of Jamamadi that are or were once spoken include Bom Futuro, Pauini, Mamoria, Cuchudua, Jaruára (Jarawara), Kitiya (Banawá), and Tukurina. Pama, Sewacu, Sipo, and Yuberi were either dialects or closely related languages.
