Ethnologue gives Guana (Kinikinao, Chuala, Chana, East Paraná, Kinihinao, Equinao) as a separate language, related to Terêna [ter]. Crevels (2012:182) lists Kinikinau (Guaná) as a distinct language. For others, this Guaná is not distinct from Terena.

Not to be confused with Guaná of Paraguay [gva] (Mascoyan).
