The extinct Urequena language (also Urekena or Arequena) is a language variety that is closely related to Andoque.[https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/bitstream/handle/1887/71532/Natterer%27s_Linguistic_Heritage.pdf?sequence=1 Johann Natterer's Linguistic Heritage] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200604165834/https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/bitstream/handle/1887/71532/Natterer%27s_Linguistic_Heritage.pdf?sequence=1 |date=2020-06-04 }}. It is known only from an unpublished word list by Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer that was probably recorded in June or July 1831.
