Former Zaparoan language distribution, with Cahuarano pointed at
Cahuarano is an extinct indigenous American language of theZaparoan family, once spoken along theNanay River in Peru. The last speaker died in the late 1980s or early 1990s. While considered a language by most scholars, it was considered by some to be a dialect ofIquito.[2]
Its speakers, who were of theMoracano tribe, lived north of the Nanay River northwest ofIquitos. In 1930,Günther Tessmann [de;es] estimated the language's number of speakers to be around 1,000,[3] while linguist Gustavo Solís gave the number 5 in 1987.[4]
