Zuruahá (also called Suruaha, Suruwaha, Zuruaha, Índios do Coxodoá ) is an Arawan language spoken in Brazil by about 130 people.
Zuruahá is mentioned in Kaufman (1994) from personal communication from Dan Everett. First contact with the community (a 3-day hike from Dení territory in Amazonas) was made in 1980. The language had not been studied as of 1994, but seems most similar to Deni.
