Kagwahiva (Kawahíb, Kagwahibm) is a Tupi–Guarani dialect cluster of Brazil. The major variety is Tenharim (Tenharem, Tenharin).
The Tenharim, Parintintín, Amondawa, Uru-eu-wau-wau and Júma peoples, along with a recently-contacted group confusingly labeled "Karipuná" in the literature, all call themselves Kavahiva. Their speech is all very similar, and also similar with other languages now extinct. Apiaká (incl. Wiraféd) is very similar and may be a dialect.[3]
