Bagua (Patagón de Bagua) is an extinct unclassified language, formerly spoken in the Marañón River basin in Peru. It is thought to be related to the Cariban languages, in particular the equally poorly attested Patagón.
Bagua is attested by three words, tuna 'water', lancho 'maize', nacxé 'come here'.[1] Tuna 'water' suggests it may be a Cariban language, like Patagón de Perico, but is insufficient evidence for classification.[2]
