Word list

A word list of Mikira was collected by Czech explorer Enrique Stanko Vráz [cs]. At the time of the data collection, the language and tribe were already nearly extinct, as Vráz had found only five houses in the village of Maucallacta. Vráz's list was subsequently published in Loukotka (1949):[2]:59–61
