Pasé (Passe) is a poorly attested and unclassified Arawakan language. It is attested in a single 19th-century wordlist.2 The Passe people are reported to be in voluntary isolation from the rest of the world.13
Classification
Kaufman (1994) placed it in his Río Negro branch,4 but this is not followed in Aikhenvald (1999).5 It is grouped with Yumana in the Japurá-Colômbia branch by Ramirez and França (2019).6
