The Uwa language, ''Uw Cuwa'', commonly known as Tunebo, is a Chibchan language spoken by between 1,800 and 3,600 of the Uwa people of Colombia, out of a total population of about 7,000.〔 ==Varieties== There are half a dozen known varieties. Communication between modern varieties can be difficult, so they are considered distinct languages. Adelaar (2004) lists the living *central dialects Cobaría and Tegría on the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, *a western group near Agua Blanca in the departments of Santander and Norte de Santander, *an eastern group at a place called ''Barro Negro'' in the lowlands of Arauca and Casanare, *and the extinct dialect Sínsiga near Chita, Boyacá. Umaña (2012) lists Cobaría, Tegría, Agua Blanca, Barro Negro. Berich lists the dialects Cobaría; Agua Blanca (= Uncasía, Tamarana, Sta Marta); Rinconada, Tegría, Bócota, & Báchira Cassani lists Sínsiga, Tegría, Unkasía (= Margua), Pedraza, Manare, Dobokubí (= Motilón) Osborn (1989) lists *Bethuwa (= Pedraza, extinct), *Rikuwa (Dukarúa, = Agua Blanca), *Tagrinuwa (Tegría), *Kubaruwa (Cobaría), *Kaibaká (= Bókota), *Yithkaya (= San Miguel / Barro Negro), *Bahiyakuwa (= Sínsiga), *Biribirá, *and Ruba, the latter all extinct Fabre (2005) lists: *Bontoca (perhaps the same as the Bókota = Kaibaká cited in Osborn), of the mountains of Guican *Cobaría, along the Cobaría River *Pedraza or Bethuwa (Angosturas? ), along the Venezuelan border; extinct *Sínsiga, in the Guican mountains, recorded from Chita, Boyaca in 1871 *Tegría or Tagrinuwa, along the Cobaría River *Unkasia, along the Chitiga and Marga rivers (Telban 1988) Additional names in Loukotka are Manare and Uncasica (presumably a spelling variant of Unkasía/Uncacía), as well as Morcote, of which nothing is known. Manare, at the source of the Casanare, is Eastern Tunebo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uwa language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
