Patomi

Patomi is a toponym and ethnonym that appears in different contexts. The term lacks a single, universally accepted definition, and references to Patomi differ across sources.

Ethnographic records occasionally mention a Patomi people in parts of the Amazon region; the exact location, population, and cultural practices are variably reported and in some cases uncertain. The name is also encountered in linguistic literature as the designation of a language associated with that community, but documentation is sparse and classification varies among scholars, with no consensus on its genetic affiliation or status.

Patomi also appears as a geographic label in gazetteers, where it may denote a locality or feature in one or more countries. Such place names can be informal or historical and may not correspond to current administrative units.

In practice, the use of Patomi is heterogeneous, and many sources differ in spelling, such as Patomí or similar variants. Because of the dispersion of references and limited access to primary materials, authoritative details are scarce. Further research and reliable sourcing are needed to provide a consolidated description of Patomi.
