Lule language
Lule is a language isolate of northern Argentina.
Lule may be extinct today. Campbell (1997) writes that in 1981 there was a unconfirmed report that Lule is still spoken by 5 families in Resistencia in east-central Chaco Province.
Genetic relations
Lule may be related to the Vilela language, together forming a small Lule-Vilela family. Kaufman (1990) finds this relationship likely and with general agreement among the major classifiers of South American languages.
