ADDITIONAL COMMENTS		Some other groups are called "Jamamadí", which is confusing. Kaufman (2007:67) has a "Jamamadí language area" with 4 "emergent languages": Jamamadí, Kanamantí, Jarawara, Banawá. Crevels (2012:182) distinguishes Jarawara (180 speakers) from Jamamadí (800 speakers). Dixon (1999:295) has only Madi (Jarawara [Jarauára, Jaruára], Jamamadi, Banawá [Banivá, Baniwá-Jafí,Kitiya, Banavá, Banauá, Jafí]).
