Loukotka (1968) reports that Yuracaré is spoken at the sources of the Sécure River, and on the Chapare River and Chimoré River.[2]
Dialects
Two dialects, now extinct:[2]
- Western - Mansiño, Oromo
- Eastern - Mage, Soloto
Coni, Cuchi, and Enete are possible dialects (Brinton 1891).[3]
Demographics
There are approximately 2,500 speakers. These numbers are in decline as the youngest generation no longer learns the language.[4] (See Language death.)
Documentation
Yuracaré is documented with a grammar based on an old missionary manuscript by de la Cueva (Adam 1893). The language is currently being studied by Rik van Gijn. A Foundation for Endangered Languages grant was awarded for a Yuracaré–Spanish / Spanish–Yuracaré dictionary project in 2005.
Genealogical relations
Suárez (1977) suggests a relationship between Yuracaré and the Mosetenan, Pano–Tacanan, Arawakan, and Chon families. His earlier Macro-Panoan proposal is the same minus Arawakan (Suárez 1969).
Jolkesky (2016) also notes that there are lexical similarities with the Moseten-Tsimane languages.[5]
Grammar
- Verb-initial
- agglutinating
- prefixes, suffixes
- reduplication
Vocabulary
Loukotka (1968) lists the following basic vocabulary items.[2]
