Arutani (Orotani, Urutani, also known as Awake, Auake, Auaqué, Aoaqui, Oewaku, ethnonym Uruak) is a nearly extinct language spoken in Roraima, Brazil and in the Karum River area of Bolivar State, Venezuela.

The remaining speakers of Arutani are found in the following Ninam villages.

[2] According to Loukotka (1968), it was once spoken on the southern banks of Maracá Island in the Rio Branco area.

[10] Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the Máku, Sape, Warao, Tikuna-Yuri, and Tukano language families due to contact.

Arutani and Tucanoan languages also have completely different pronominal systems, and sound correspondences are irregular.
