Mekéns (Mekem), or Amniapé, is a nearly extinct Tupian language of the state of Rondônia, in the Amazon region of Brazil.

There are three groups of Mekens speakers:

Sakïrabiát (Sakirabiá, Sakiráp)

Koaratira (Guaratira, a.k.a. Kanoé – not the same as the Kanoé language)

Koarategayat (Guaratégaya, Guarategaja, Warategáya)
