They talk and write in Maxakali, a language from the Maxakali family, from the Macro-Jê linguistic stem. They translated some of their traditional songpoems into Portuguese, aiming at the publication of a book on their healthy subjects. They also translated the lyrics of a Brasilian traditional song from Portuguese into Maxakali, as an exercise in the Portuguese classes in the context of the Indian schools governmental program.
