The Janambre (Xanambre) were an indigenous people of Tamaulipas in northeast Mexico. They were the historical enemies of the Pison (Pisones).

Language

The Janambre language, now extinct, is unattested.[1] William Bright (1955) thought the Janambre language might have been Naolan, an unclassified language of the region.[2] Other unattested extinct languages of Tamaulipas include Pisone, "Negrito" and Olive.[3]
