The Cofán language is the language of the Cofán people, an indigenous group native to Napo Province northeast Ecuador and southern Colombia, between the Guamués River and the Aguarico River (a tributary of the Napo River). Approximately 60% of Cofán speakers in Ecuador are literate in their own language. There is extensive bilingualism with Spanish on both sides of the border. Intermarriage with Siona people and Secoya people also promotes bilingualism. The language is written in the Roman script and has ten vowels (five with and without nasalization) and twenty-eight consonants. Cofán had been classified as a Chibchan language, but this appears to be due to borrowed vocabulary.
