Záparo is a nearly extinct language from the borderlands of Peru spoken by only one person out of an ethnic population of 170 in the Pastaza Province between the Curaray River and Bobonaza Rivers as of 2000. Záparo is also known as Zápara and Kayapwe. Though it was spoken by 1 person in 2000 there is the distinct possibility that it may be extinct. The members of the Záparo ethnic group now speak Quichua though there is a language revival effort beginning.
