Vacacocha (Aushiri), considered extinct until recently, because all speakers had shifted to Quechua. In the 1930s there were about 25 Vacacocha in the area of Lake Vacacocha and another group of 30–40 in the region of the Tiputini River (Shiripuno River, Ecuador). In 2008, however, Lev Michael located a semi-speaker of Vacacocha in Puerto Elvira on the Napo River. Another speaker apparently lives near Iquitos.
