Tacanan languages

Tacanan is a family of languages spoken in Bolivia, with Ese’ejja also spoken in Peru. It may be related to the Panoan languages.

Family division

• Ese’ejja (AKA Ese’eha, Tiatinagua, Chama, Huarayo, Guacanawa, Chuncho, Eseʼexa, Tatinawa, Ese exa)
• Araona–Tacana
  • Araona (AKA Carina, Cavina)
  • Cavineña–Tacana

    • Tacana proper
      • Tacana (AKA Tupamasa, Takana)
      • Reyesano (AKA San Borjano, Maropa)

Toromona is apparently extinct. Another possibly extinct Tacanan language is Mabenaro; Arasa has been classified as Tacanan, but appears to have more in common with Panoan.
