Other comments: Kuikúro-Kalapálo or Kuikúro is spoken by approximately 1,111 speakers (Crevels 2012), 600 Kuikúro and 500 Kalapálo, in Mato Grosso state: Xingú Park; 7 villages along Culuene river.

Kuikúro has a counting system up to twenty using hands and feet. Please note that R with the diacritic [ʀ̆] is a new symbol not yet in IPA; it represents an uvular flap, present only in the Carib Upper Xingu language (and all its variants). We have already sent an article on this to the Journal of Phonetic Sciences.
