Zaparoan (also Sáparoan, Záparo, Zaparoano, Zaparoana) is an endangered language family of Peru and Ecuador with fewer than 100 speakers. Zaparoan speakers seem to have been very numerous before the arrival of the Europeans but their groups have been decimated by imported diseases and warfare and only a handful of them have survived. ==Languages== There were 39 Zaparoan-speaking tribes at the beginning of the 20th century,〔La famille linguistique Zaparo, H. Beuchat and P. Rivet – Journal de la société des américanistes – Année 1908 lien Volume 5 pp. 235–249〕 every one of them presumably using its own distinctive language or dialect. Most of them have become extinct before being recorded, however, and we have information only about nine of them. * Zaparo group * * Záparo–Conambo * * * Záparo (a few speakers left) * * * Conambo † * * Arabela–Andoa * * * Arabela (50 speakers) * * * Andoa † * Iquito–Cahuarano * * Iquito (35 speakers) * * Cahuarano † * Unclassified * * Aushiri † * * ?
