The Cahuapanan languages are a language family spoken in the Amazon basin of northern Peru. They include two languages, Chayahuita and Jebero, which are spoken by more than 11,300 people. Chayahuita is spoken by most of that number, but Jebero is almost extinct.
Language contact
[edit]Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the Kechua, Arawak, Kandoshi, Pukina, and Karib language families due to contact.[1]
Varieties
[edit]- Chayahuita or Chawi (also known or rendered as Balsapuertino, Cahuapa, Chayabita, Chayawita, Chayhuita, Tshaahui, Paranapura, Shayabit)
- Chayahuita dialect
- Cahuapana dialect
- Jebero (also known or rendered as Chebero, Xebero, Xihuila)
The extinct language Maynas can be identified as close to Chawi.[2]
Other Cahuapanan varieties that are listed by Loukotka (1968):[3]
- Yamorai - spoken on the Sillai River in Loreto Department
- Ataguate - extinct language of the same region, once spoken on the Aipena River and around Lake Atagua (unattested)
- Pamdabegue - once spoken on the Aipena River and Paranapura River in Loreto Department (unattested)
- Miguira (Shuensampi, Miquira, Mikirá[4]) - extinct language once spoken in the single village of Maucallacta on the Paranapura River
