The Suyá, whose speakers call themselves Kisêdjê, is a language of the Jê family spoken by about 300 individuals living in two villages located in the Xingu Indigenous Park, Mato Grosso, Brazil. This language has a split case of marking system. There is a wider first division, conditioned by the semantic nature of the NP (noun phrase): the simple sentences with S (subject of intransitive verb) or A (subject of transitive verb) have a standard case marking different from what occurs in phrases with pronominal S and A. In the latter, in turn, there is another division conditioned by the categories of time / aspect and negation.Downloads
