Arabela language
Arabela is an
indigenous American
language of the
Zaparoan family spoken in two
Peruvian villages in tropical forest along the Napo tributary of the Arabela river. Also known as Chiripuno and Chiripunu, it is spoken by about 50 people out of an ethnic population of about 500. However, some of the speakers have a passive understanding of Arabela, but do not speak it. Due to the very low number of speakers, it is classified as a seriously endangered language. Since there are so few speakers of Arabela left, its speakers speak either
Spanish or
Quechua as a
second language. The
literacy rate for Arabela as a
first language is about 10-30%, and about 50-75 or a
second language. It uses a
SVO order (SVO) order, a very common word order, used in
English,
Albanian,
Chinese,
Spanish, and
Xhosa. It is an
official language of Peru.
