The Carabayo language is spoken by the Carabayo people (Yuri, Aroje), an uncontacted Amazonian people of Colombia living in
at least three long houses, one of several suspected uncontacted peoples living along the Rio Puré in the southeastern corner
of the country. They are known as the Aroje to the Bora people. Maku and Macusa are pejorative Arawak terms applied to many
local languages, not anything specific to Carabayo. It is often assumed that the Carabayo language and people are a continuation
of the Yuri language and people attested from the same area in the 19th century. Indeed, Colombian government publications
speak of the Yuri (Carabayo), Carabayo (Yuri), or Yuri, Aroje, or Carabayo as a single people. However, when an accidental
encounter with one of the Rio Puré peoples (perhaps the Carabayo) occurred in 1969, only 20% of the words which were collected
and for which a Yuri equivalent had been recorded were cognate. This is too low a number for the 1969 Rio Puré language to
be a direct descendent of Yuri, though it would appear to be in the same family. (However, the 1969 data is not accessible
to scholars, and only three of the collected words are currently known.) |
