Baicoca (Ecuadorian Siona) is spoken by the Bai (Siona) people who live in the Sucumbios Province in eastern Ecuador. The speakers live among six small villages (Puerto Bolívar and Tarabëaya on the Cuyabeno Rivera; and Sototsiaya, Orahuëaya, Aboquëhuira, and Bi'aña on the Aguarico River), and in the provincial capital Lago Agrio. (Bruil, 2014)

Oil companies, international tourism, missionaries, migration, and intermarriage with other indigenous groups and with mestizos have increased the presence of Spanish in the Ecuadorian Siona villages. These contribute to the critical state of the language. However, people have realized the seriousness of the situation and are developing revitalization policies. (Bruil, 2014)
