This work is a reference grammar of Hup, a Nadahup (Makú) language spoken in the multilingual Vaupés region of northwest Amazonia. This detailed description and analysis addresses both the phonology and morphosyntax of Hup, and includes texts and audio files. It is informed by a functional-typological perspective with particular
reference to areal contact and grammaticalization.
