- Historical information: Mỹky is an isolate Amazonian language spoken by two communities, the Mỹky and the Manoki. The two communities speak different varieties of the same language, and their sociolinguistic situation is radically different. ISO code irn (for Iranxe) was established before the term Mỹky became the name used for the language, encompassing both varieties.
The Manoki, also known as Iranxe, were contacted during the first half of the 20th century in western Mato Grosso. In the 1950s the Manoki community was settled in the Jesuit mission of Utiariti, where other groups were also brought. At the mission, parents and children were separated and forbidden from speaking in their language. After reaching a population low of 33 individuals in 1960, they started a demographic recovery in part due to intermarrying with members of other linguistic groups. Today, they live in a demarcated indigenous land on the Juruena basin in Mato Grosso. The fluent speakers of Manoki amount to four as of 2022, the youngest of whom are in their 60s.
A smaller group of Mỹky speakers remained uncontacted until the 1970s. The language is much more vital among this community, a majority of whom are native speakers, although proficient knowledge of Portuguese is not uncommon. Both communities maintain frequent contacts and consider each other as part of the same people.
The materials archived in this collection correspond to fieldwork done among both Mỹky-speaking communities. - Scope and content: Audio and video recordings of text collection and elicitation, with other derived materials.
