Former indigenous languages
The unclassified extinct Wakoná language was formerly spoken in Penedo. Loukotka (1968) reported that the remaining ethnic descendants who speak only Portuguese could be found in the city of Porto Real do Colégio. The Xocó language and Natú language, both language isolates, were also spoken near present-day Porto Real do Colégio.{{cite book |last=Loukotka |first=Čestmír |authorlink=Čestmír Loukotka |title=Classification of South American Indian languages |url=https://archive.org/details/classificationof0007louk |url-access=registration |publisher=UCLA Latin American Center |year=1968 |location=Los Angeles}} Today, all Indigenous peoples there speak either Portuguese or Dzubukuá.{{Cite web |last=Ravena |first=Monyse |date=2020-08-25 |title=“Nossa língua nos dá força”, Indígenas Kariri-Xocó preservam linguagem por gerações |url=https://www.brasildefato.com.br/2020/08/25/nossa-lingua-nos-da-forca-indigenas-kariri-xoco-preservam-linguagem-por-geracoes/ |access-date=2025-03-22 |website=Brasil de Fato |language=pt-BR}}
