Wakoná (Aconã) is an extinct language of eastern Brazil, formerly spoken by the Aconã people.[2][3] The dispersed ethnic population numbered an estimated 500 to 1,000 in 1995.

Geographical distribution

Wakoná was originally spoken around Lagoa Comprida and in Penedo.[4] Loukotka (1968) reported that the remaining ethnic descendants who speak only Portuguese could be found in the city of Porto Real do Colégio.[4] They lived near Palmeira dos Índios according to Meader (1978).[5]
