Anauyá is an extinct, poorly attested and unclassified Arawakan language of Venezuela, originally spoken on the Castaña River in Amazonas. Its only documentation comes from a 1928 book.
Classification Kaufman (1994) placed it in his Wainumá branch, but this is not followed in Aikhenvald (1999). It is classified as a member of the Río Negro group by Ramirez and França (2019).
