Bororo of Cabaçal (, Aravirá, Western Bororo) is an extinct Bororoan language that was spoken around the Cabaçal River in Mato Grosso, Brazil. It has been documented in word lists collected by Johann Natterer in 1825 and by Francis de Castelnau in the 1840s.Castelnau, Francis de. 1851. Expédition dans les parties centrales de l'Amérique du Sud, de Rio de Janeiro à Lima, et de Lima au Para: exécuté par ordre du Gouvernement français pendant les années 1843 à 1847 : histoire du voyage, Partie 5. Paris: P. Bertrand. Bororo of Cabaçal was recently identified by Camargo (2014) as a separate language distinct from Bororo proper.Camargo, Gonçalo Ochoa. 2014. Boe ewadaru = A língua bororo: breve histórico e elementos de gramática. Campo Grande, MS: Universidade Católica Dom Bosco (UCDB). Loukotka incorrectly lists Aravirá as unattested, when in reality it is known from the two wordlists above.
