Nüpode Huitoto orNɨpode is an indigenous American language spoken in western South America. It has occasionally been referred to as Muinane Witoto, not to be confused with theMuinane language.
Nüpode Huitoto belongs to theWitotoan language family. Along withMɨnɨca andMurai, it is one of the three Witoto Proper languages.
Nüpode Huitito is spoken by just 100 people in Peru's northeastern Loreto province, where it has official standing. Speakers also use the other two Huitoto languages (Murui and Minica). It is written using the Roman alphabet and has had some Bible portions translated into it. In addition, a dictionary and grammar have been written.
