=="Nheenga"==
  '''Equivalence in Portuguese:''' "Palavra" ("word") or "língua" ("language")
  '''Disambiguation generalization:''' "Nheenga" most likely will have the meaning of "língua" when there is an instance of the verb "to speak" ("falar", in Portuguese) in the sentence. Additionally, chances are this should be the ideal translation if "nheenga" is associated with the genitive case (check examples below for further detail.) "Palavra," therefore, should be the general case, associated with other verbs related to speech, such as "to say" ("dizer", in Portuguese).
  '''Portuguese Translation:'''  "Há pessoas que falam outras línguas em São Gabriel: baniua, tucano, desana, ianomami."
