Pacahuara (Pacawara) is a nearly extinct Panoan language spoken by only 17 of 18 Pacahuara people. The Pacahuara have been located to northwest of Magdalena, Beni, Bolivia[citation needed] and to Nueva Esperanza municipality, of Federico Román Province in Pando.[1] Pacahuara is recognized as an official language of Bolivia by the 2009 Bolivian Constitution.[2]
A recent report shows how their culture is on the brink of disappearing.[3]
