More about speakers

"1 speaker in Bolivia, a couple of semi-speakers possibly; 2 or 3 in Brazil, the number of other semi-speakers in Brazil unknown. There seems to be one old speaker near Porvenir, Bolivia; nowadays, I suppose he is not a real speaker anymore. in Pimenteiras, Brazil, the other side of the river, the Guarasu share the lands in a community with a few other ethnic groups. Guarasu people and the 2 or 3 speakers? ... moved there from Bolivia ... [In] a meeting of indigenous peoples in Pimenteiras (the Guarasuwe) ... they count 40 ethnic Guarasuwe ... [you] get very high number of members of the ethnic group everywhere, since they are in a process of getting acknowledged, and basically they tend to give rather high numbers."

More about speakers

A few [semi-]speakers(?) both in Bolivia and in Brazil. The group in Brazil is said to be a case of auto-identification, so maybe they are not speakers anymore.
