Ur yezh toupiek eo an nengatoueg (Nheengatu [ɲeʔeŋa'tu]; portugaleg: língua geral "yezh voutin")

is the name of two distinct lingua francas spoken in Brazil: Língua Geral Paulista, now extinct; and Língua Geral Amazônica with its modern descendant .

Both were simplified versions of languages spoken by Tupi Indians. Portuguese colonizers arrived in Brazil in the 16th century and, faced with an indigenous population which spoke many languages, sought a means to establish effective communication among the many groups. The two languages were used in the Jesuit missions and by early colonists; and came to be used by black slaves and other Indian groups.

Língua Geral Paulista (or Tupi Austral) was based on the language of the Tupi of São Vicente, São Paulo, and the upper Tietê River. In the 17th century it was widely spoken in São Paulo and was spread to neighboring regions. It subsequently lost ground to Portuguese, however, and eventually becoming extinct.

Língua Geral Amazônica was based on Tupinambá, the language of the Tupi along the northern Brazilian coast in Maranhão and Pará. It was carried into the interior and spread across the Amazon region in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its use later declined, partially as a result of the expulsion of the Jesuits from Brazil, as well as from migrations inside Brazil. Now known as Nhengatu (also Nheengatu, Nyengatú, Língua Geral, Geral, Yeral), it is still spoken along the Negro River in northern Brazil (as well as in neighboring Colombia and Venezuela). There are perhaps around 8,000 speakers according to The Ethnologue (2005) (Rohter (2005) gives a much larger number); the language has recently regained some recognition and prominence after having been suppressed for many years.
