Katembri (Catrimbi [sic], Kariri de Mirandela, Mirandela) was a divergent language of Bahia, northeastern Brazil that appears to be distantly related to Taruma (Kaufman 1990).

It is known only from about 100 words collected in the early 1960s from João Manoel Domingos, an elderly rememberer with vague memories of the language.

Katembri was spoken at the mission of Saco dos Morcegos, now known as Mirandela, Bahia.[1]
