Piro is a
Maipurean language spoken in
Peru. It belongs to the Piro group which also includes
Iñapari (†) and
Apurinã. The principal variety is
Yine. The
Manchineri who live in
Brazil (
Acre) and reportedly also in
Bolivia speak what may be a dialect of Yine (Aikhenvald, Kaufman). A vocabulary labeled
Canamaré is "so close to Piro [Yine] as to count as Piro", but has been a cause of confusion with the unrelated
Kanamarí language.
