Cashibo (Caxibo, Cacibo, Cachibo, Cahivo), Cacataibo, Cashibo-Cacataibo, Managua, or Hagueti is an indigenous language of Peru in the region of the Aguaytía, San Alejandro, and Súngaro rivers. It belongs to the Panoan language family.

Name

The name Kashibo and its variants are an exonym and are derived from the word Script error: No such module "Lang". 'bat' and the collective suffix Script error: No such module "Lang".. Most Panoan-speaking peoples did not have ethnonyms and were thus known by other names applied to them by other groups. This designation was first attested in the late 18th century in colonial documents. The Kashibo themselves have attempted to change this name as they find it offensive due to its connotations with their supposed cannibalism; the names Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning 'people' in Kashibo, and Kakataibo (and its variant spelling Cacataibo) have been proposed as replacements. A number of authors report that Script error: No such module "Lang". was prefered by the Kashibo, though this appears to be restricted to those living along the Sungaroyacu River; even there, it has not been well established. Cacataibo has been more widely used and even appears in the name of the Kashibo political organization. This term originally designated a subgroup of the Kashibo, is most likely derived from the Kashibo language itself, and apparently means ‘the very best ones’.[1]

History

The Cashibo are first attested under the name Carapacho, derived from the Quechua words Script error: No such module "IPA". 'naked' and Script error: No such module "IPA". 'belly', thus meaning 'a person who does not cover his belly'. Presumably the final -o in Carapacho is derived from a Spanish reanalysis of the original final Script error: No such module "IPA". as a feminine marker.[1]

Classification

The Panoan linguistic family, to which Kashibo belongs, was first proposed by Raoul de la Grasserie [eo] in 1888.[1]

Dialects

Dialects of Cashibo are Lower Aguaytía, Upper Aguaytía, Sungaroyacu, San Alejandro, and the extinct Nokamán.[2] Günter Tessmann distinguished three subgroups of the Cashibo, further divided into 18 clans. Tessmann distinguished additionally the Nokamán, who were subsumed under the Cashibo by missionaries; their language is evidently a dialect of Cashibo. It is closest to te San Alejandro dialect; the two are the most divergent dialects.[1]

Statistics

The language is official along the Aguaytía, San Alejandro, and Súngaro rivers in Peru where it is most widely spoken. It is used in schools until third grade. There are not many monolinguals, although some women over the age of fifty are. There is five to ten percent literacy compared to fifteen to twenty-five percent literacy in Spanish as a second language. A Cashibo-Cacataibo dictionary has been compiled, and there is a body of literature, especially poetry.[3]
