Mure is an extinct language of Bolivia. It was long considered a Chapacuran language, but the similarities are few, and are likely loans, as the Mure were missioned together with speakers of Chapacuran languages. Apart from those few words, the languages are "utterly different" according to Glottolog,[1] a view that is shared by Birchall (2013).[2]

The Mure lived in the Jesuit Missions of Moxos. They mostly resided in San Simón Mission, with some also living in San Francisco de Borja Mission together with the Movima. Neighbors of the Mure included the Rokorona.[3]

Texts

Mure is attested only by a few surviving texts of the Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary, and Nicene Creed.[4] The texts have been analyzed by Georges de Crequi-Montfort and Paul Rivet (1913).[3] There are also sporadic mentions of the Mure language by Lorenzo Hervás y Panduro (1800: 251)[5] and Cosme Bueno [es] (1770).[6]

The texts below are reproduced from Teza (1868).[4] Interlinear analyses are adapted from de Crequi-Montfort & Rivet (1913), with the original French glossing also included.[3]
