Machiguenga (Matsigenka) is a major Arawakan language in the Campa sub-branch of the family. It is spoken in the Urubamba River Basin and along the Manu River in the Cusco and Madre de Dios departments of Peru by around 6,200 people. According to Ethnologue, it is experiencing pressure from Spanish and Quechua in the Urubamba region, but is active and healthy in the Manu region (most speakers are monolingual in Matsigenka). It is close enough to Nomatsiguenga that the two are sometimes considered dialects of a single language; both are spoken by the Machiguenga people. Nanti is partially mutually intelligible but ethnically distinct.

[ru] Мачигенга (язык)

Язык мачигенга (исп. machiguenga) или матсигенга (исп.  matsiguenga) — это язык одной из народностей перуанской Амазонии, относящийся к аравакской (майпурской) языковой семье. Из приблизительно 15000 этнических мачигенга языком владеют менее 12 000 человек. Основная масса носителей сосредоточена в бассейне реки Урубамба (департамент Куско). Незначительное количество проживает в бассейне реки Ману. До начала XX века этнической границей между кечуа и мачигенга в долине Урубамбы был посёлок Ильяпани. В настоящее время выходцы из кечуаязычных областей продвинулись на север, что, однако, не повлекло исчезновение таких традиционно мачигенгских поселений, как Чирумбия и Корибени. В низовьях Урубамбы носители мачигенга соседствуют с сепауанскими йине (исп. Yine del Sepahua).
