Clarification on the Cobari dialect

It is unclear what dialect is cited in "Cobari dialect is easily intelligible of the others".

I guess it is the Cobari dialect of Sanumá (xsu), as the languages areas overlap in Venezuela, but I cannot be sure.

Editorial Action

We will move the comment in the dialect section of Yanomamö [guu] to Sanumá [xsu] in Venezuela.

Thank you for uncovering this error regarding the Cobari dialect. This comment relates to Sanumá [xsu] rather than to Yanomamö [guu] in Venezuela. Ethnologue does not list Cobari as a dialect name for Yanomamö.

Best regards,
