Záparo is a nearly extinct language from the borderlands of
Peru, spoken by only one person out of an ethnic population of 170, in the
Pastaza province, between the
Curaray river and Bobonaza rivers, as of 2000. Záparo is also known as Zápara and Kayapwe. Though it was spoken by 1 person in 2000, there is the distinct possibility that it may be
extinct. The members of the Záparo ethnic group now speak
Quichua, though there is a language revival effort beginning. Záparo is sometimes confused with
Andoa, though the two languages are distinct. Záparo has a
SVO word order.

Las
lenguas zaparoanas constituyen un conjunto de
lenguas amerindias casi extintas habladas en las regiones
amazónicas de
Perú y
Ecuador. Según Swadesh (1959), el grado de diferenciación interna implicaría al menos 4.100 años de divergencia lingüística. Actualmente consiste de 5 lenguas, todas ellas en peligro de extinción o ya extintas. De acuerdo con la evidencia existente, otras dos lenguas ya extintas, el omurano y el aushiri, forman parte de la familia.
