"la lengua cayubaba está al borde de la extinción. Harold Key ... recopiló sus datos del cayubaba entre 1956 y 1962, y por aquel entonces sus informantes principales, Don Pablo Asiama y su esposa Doña Nasia Abareco, sólo podían nombrar a seis personas ancianas que sabían hablar la lengua con soltura. Por lo tanto, podemos decir que ya se ha dejado de hablar el cayubaba desde hace varias generaciones" (p. 342). [The Cayubaba language is on the verge of extinction. Harold Key ... collected his data on Cayubaba between 1956 and 1962, and at that time his main informants, Don Pablo and his wife Doña Asiama Nasia Abareco, could only name six elderly persons who could speak the language fluently. Therefore, we can say that Cayubaba ceased to spoken several generations ago].
