Kanamaré (Kanamari) is an extinct Arawakan language of the Purús River near the Peruvian–Brazilian border. Kaufman (1994)[full citation needed] lists it as a Piro language, perhaps a geographic classification; Aikhenvald leaves it unclassified.

It was described as a dialect of Yine in the original wordlist.[2]

Ethnologue 17 confuses it with a living Katuquinan language of the same name.[1]
