Bororo of Cabaçal (Portuguese: Bororo do Cabaçal, Aravirá,[1] Western Bororo[2]) is an extinct Bororoan language that was spoken around the Cabaçal River in Mato Grosso, Brazil. It has been documented in word lists collected by Johann Natterer in 1825[1] and by Francis de Castelnau in the 1840s.[3]: 285–286 Bororo of Cabaçal was recently identified by Camargo (2014) as a separate language distinct from Bororo proper.[4] Loukotka incorrectly lists Aravirá as unattested, when in reality it is known from the two wordlists above.[5]
