"Spoken by between 2,000 and 3,000 people, about 1,000 of whom live in northern Peru" (p. 1). "In Colombia, about 150 Bora people live on the Ígara-Paraná River and about 100 on the Caquetá River at Mariápolis, Remanso, Santa Isabel, Las Palmas and living in scattered houses" (p. 1). "Today there are few monolingual Bora speakers ... All those between 50 and 60 years of age are more or less flunet in Spanish for daily needs (although they still prefer to speak Bora). All those under 50 are quite fluent in Spanish." "All Bora children now learn Spanish. Some learn Spanish as their first language and don't go on to learn Bora as a second language, while other children do. Many Bora children still learn Bora as their first language and Spanish as a second language ... at present there are still many of all ages speaking it [Bora]." (p. 5)
