A family of indigenous languages spoken in the Amazon basin of Peru, primarily by the Jebero and related peoples.
From the Cahuapana people of the upper Amazon region in northeastern Peru. The name reflects the indigenous peoples' own designation for their ethnic and linguistic group.
Cahuapana is one of those language families where only a handful of elderly speakers remain—losing a language means losing an entire unique way of describing the world that took centuries to develop, like erasing irreplaceable poetry.
