Dialects
editThere are three attested dialects: Shetebo and Piskino, which are no longer in daily use and are considered obsolescent, and Pano itself, which is extinct.[2]
Classification
editDavid Fleck (2013) classified Pano as closely related to extinct Sensi and the still-living Shipibo–Konibo language, as part of the Chama subgroup of the Mainline Panoan languages. The Barbudo, Chakaya, Iltipo, Manannawa, Yawabo, and Puinawa languages, though undocumented, were also reportedly close to Pano.[2] The Wriapano language was reported to be partially intelligible to speakers of Shipibo.[3]
Geographical distribution
editIn the late 17th century, the Wariapano lived along the Sarayacu River.[4]
History
editIn 1790, the Wariapano, Shetebo, Shipibo, and Konibo were put into missions by Franciscans.[4] The last known speaker of the Pano dialect died in the spring of 1991.[3]
Documentation
editIn 1861, the Franciscan missionaries Frezneda and Francisco de San José are reported to have made a grammar of Shetebo, which was not published. A supposed wordlist of Shetebo was also mentioned. Manuel Navarro presented a list of Pano words .[5] Günter Tessmann recorded 35 words of Shetebo, along with seven additional terms, as well as over 200 words of Pano proper. Piskino is known solely through 14 words included in a 1993 Shipibo dictionary.[2]
