Chamicuro (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".,[3] referring to a type of worm[4]) is a nearly extinct South American language spoken in Peru. The language was used by the Chamicuro people, who number around one hundred people. The Chamicuros currently live on a tributary of the Huallaga river, in Peru, in an area called Pampa Hermosa, though many had been dislocated to the Yavarí and Napo Rivers and to Brazil.[1]
Status
As with all native languages in Peru, Chamicuro was by default an official language in the area in which it was spoken. A dictionary has been published by the Chamicuro, however no children can speak the language as the community has shifted to Spanish.[5]
Classification
Chamicuro is an Arawakan language.[4] However, it has been historically claimed to be a member of the Panoan language family instead; Julian Steward, writing in the Handbook of South American Indians, claimed that Chamicuro was linguistically close to Shipibo, a Panoan language.[6]
There is dispute as to whether the unattested language of the Aguano people was the same language as, or related to, Chamicuro. Čestmír Loukotka (1968) had identified it as a relative of Chamicuro,[7] but the Chamicuro report that the Aguano people spoke Quechua.[8][full citation needed][5]
Phonology
Vowels
Chamicuro has five vowels: /a, e, i, o, u/. All vowels have both short and long forms,[9] though long vowels are rare. It is not a tonal language.[4]
