Urarina
Urarina is spoken by about 3,000 people in the Loreto region of northwest Peru, particularly in the Urarinas district, along the Pucayacu, Chambira and Urituyacu rivers. It not related to any other living language, and is one of the few languages in the world with object-verb-subject word order.
Urarina is also known as Itucali, Simacu or Shimacu, and the Urarina call themselves Kachá ("the people"). The name Urarina is thought to come from the Quechua words uray (below) and rina (people), so Urarina means "people from below" or "down stream people".
Urarina is written with the Latin alphabet, although few Urarina speakers are literate.
