In the 15th Century, the Juma language was a flamboyant language that was spoken in the Amazon region of the mordern Brazilian political state ( 1419-1899) For example the fruit known as soursop which may be native to the region in English is known as paw-paw. The brutal rule and conquest of the Portuguese , and the later ineffiency of the Brazilian government with its Indigenous Affairs agency (IPAMA) caused the Juma people and language to be extinct.is In: R.
