Shiwiar, also known as Achuar, Jivaro and Maina, is a Chicham language spoken along the Pastaza and Bobonaza rivers in Ecuador. Shiwiar is one of the thirteen indigenous languages of Ecuador.[1] All of these indigenous languages are endangered.[1]
Speakers
Shiwiar is a language spoken by the Achuar people of the Amazonian region of Ecuador.[2] The Achuar people also speak Spanish, Shuar, and Kichwa along with their native language, Shiwiar.[2] Shuar belongs to the same language family as Shiwiar – Jivaroan.[2]
Although the Achuar live in the Amazon Basin, the extracting of oil and raw materials from Ecuador through mining has displaced the Achuar communities and endangered their homes.[3]
While Ecuador's official language is Spanish, the Achuar people along with other indigenous groups have the right to use their own languages in education through the official language policies of Ecuador legalized in Decree No. 000529, Article 27, and the Dirección Nacional de Educación Indígena Intercultural Bilingüe (DINEIIB).[4]
