Aikhenvald (1999) classifies it among the Western Nawiki Upper Amazonian languages. Kaufman (1994) had made it a separate branch of Upper Amazonian.

On November 25, 2016 the last female speaker of Resígaro, Rosa Andrade, was brutally murdered in a beheading at the age of 67. Her niece reported “She was beheaded. Her head was not found, neither her heart.”[3]

The only other remaining speaker known was Andrade's brother, Pablo Andrade, who still lives. He and his late sister had been preparing a project with the Ministry of Culture to document their language since October 2016, and to update books on grammar and an outdated dictionary made in the 1950s by the Summer Institute of Linguistics, that promoted the translation of the Bible.[3]

Реси́гаро (Resígaro, Resígero) — почти исчезнувший индейский язык, который относится к верхнеамазонской подгруппе североаравакской группы аравакской семьи языков, на котором говорит народ с одноимённым названием, который проживает в деревнях Бора и Окайна региона Лорето на северо-востоке Перу. Кажется, группа ресигаро растворяется в обществах групп бора и окайна. Также используются бора, окайна, уруйский уитотский и испанский языки.
