Taushiro, also known as Pinche or Pinchi, is a nearly extinct possible language isolate of the Peruvian Amazon near Ecuador. In 2000 SIL counted one speaker in an ethnic population of 20. Documentation was done in the mid-1970s by Neftalí Alicea. The last living speaker of Taushiro, Amadeo García García, was profiled in The New York Times in 2017.[2]

The first glossary of Taushiro contained 200 words and was collected by Daniel Velie in 1971.[2]
Classification
Following Tovar (1961), Loukotka (1968),[3] and Tovar (1984), Kaufman (1994) notes that while Taushiro has been linked to the Zaparoan languages, it shares greater lexical correspondences with Kandoshi and especially with Omurano. In 2007 he classified Taushiro and Omurano (but not Kandoshi) as Saparo–Yawan languages.
Jolkesky (2016) also notes that there are lexical similarities with Tequiraca and Leco.[4]
Grammar
Word order in Taushiro is Verb–subject–object.[5]
Amadeo García García
In June 2015, the sole remaining native speaker, Amadeo García García was residing in "Intuto on the Tigre River in the northeastern Peruvian region of Loreto." Zachary O’Hagan did targeted field work with him on topics such as ethnohistory, genealogy, sociocultural practices, lexicon, and grammar.[6]
As of December 2017 government linguists from Peru’s Ministry of Culture, working with Amadeo, have created a database of 1,500 Taushiro words, 27 stories, and three songs.[2]

El taushiro es una lengua aislada del norte de Perú, hablada en la cuenca del Río Tigre en el departamento de Loreto (Perú) por miembros de la etnia pinchi, que se consideraba extinta. En 1975 se registraron siete hablantes. Un último reportaje mostrado en el 2014 por América Televisión indicó la existencia de una persona que habla esta lengua y finalmente en el 2017 Amadeo García (el último hablante) fue condecorado por el Ministerio de Cultura en el día de la lengua materna.[1][fr] Taushiro
