Editing Ticuna language (section)

== Classification ==
Some have tentatively associated the Ticuna language within the proposals of the [[Macro-Arawakan languages|macro-arawakano]] or with [[Macro-Tucanoan|macro-tukano]] stocks, although these classifications are highly speculative given the lack of evidence. A more recent hypothesis has linked Yuri-Ticuna with the [[Saliban languages|Saliban]] and [[Hoti language|Hoti]] languages in the [[Duho languages|Duho stock]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Jolkesky |first=Marcelo |title=Estudo arqueo-ecolinguístico das terras tropicais sul-americanas. |date=2016 |journal=Title in English: An Archaeo-Ecolinguistic Study of the South American Tropics.
