Warao (also known as Guarauno, Guarao, Warrau) is a language isolate of the indigenous Warao people. It is the native language spoken by approximately 18,000 people inhabiting the Orinoco River delta in northeastern Venezuela as well as small populations of speakers in western Guyana and Suriname. The basic word order of Warao has been analyzed as object–subject–verb, a very rare word order among nominative–accusative languages such as Warao. Warao is a language isolate. Kaufman (1994) included it in his hypothetical Macro-Paezan family, but the necessary supporting work was never done.
