Mashco Piro is an Arawakan language spoken in Peru, by the Mashco Piro or Script error: No such module "Lang". (meaning 'brothers' or 'countrymen' in Mashco Piro and Yine). It is also called Cujareño. It is very similar to the Piro (Yine), with an estimated 60% inherent intelligibility.[1] Kaufman considered it a dialect of Piro; Aikhenvald suggests it may rather be a dialect of Iñapari.[2][3] According to the Yine, the language of the Mashco Piro is more archaic than modern Yine, and is about 80% comprehensible with it.[4]

Language documentation is limited, since the Nomole are highly nomadic hunter-gatherers[1] who avoid contact with outsiders. The name Cujareño has been associated with the Panoan languages, though without much evidence.
