Moxo (also known asMojo, pronounced 'Moho') is any of theArawakan languages spoken by theMoxo people of theLlanos de Moxos in northeasternBolivia. The two extant languages of the Moxo people,Trinitario andIgnaciano, are as distinct from one another as they are from neighboring Arawakan languages. The extinctMagiana was also distinct.
Ignaciano is used in town meetings unless outsiders are present, and it is a required subject in the lower school grades, one session per week. Perhaps half of the children learn Ignaciano. By the 1980s there were fewer than 100 monolinguals, all older than 30.
The Moxo languages are most closely related to Bauré, Pauna, and Paikoneka. Together, they form theMamoré-Guaporé languages (named after theMamoré River andGuaporé River). Classification by Jolkesky (2016):[7]: 8
