context_page_description: The Trans–São Francisco languages are a proposed grouping of languages within Macro-Jê. They consist of the Krenák, Maxakalían, and possibly also the Kamakã families. The Trans–São Francisco group was originally proposed and demonstrated by Nikulin and Silva under the name of Maxakalí-Krenák.
  They are named after the São Francisco River of Northeast Brazil.
context_section_description: Proto-Trans–São Francisco has been reconstructed by Nikulin (2020), while there is also a Proto-Kamakã reconstruction by Martins (2007).
