Native to: Perú and Brazil

Native speakers: 35,000 (2007) / 63,000 all varieties Ashaninka & Asheninka (2007 census)
Language family: Arawakan

Asháninka is an Arawakan language spoken by about 35,000 people along the Apurímac, Ene, Perené, and Tambo rivers and tributaries in Peru. It is also known as Campa, though this is considered offensive by the Asháninka people as it comes from a Quechua word, thampa, which means ragged and dirty.
Asháninka is closely related to Gran Pajonal Campa, Ashéninka, Axaninca, Machiguenga and Nomatsiguenga. These are all linguistically very close and are considered separate languages for social and political reasons.

Asháninka has official status in the region where it is spoken. There is no standardised way to write it, and only 10-30% of the Ashánika people can read and write in their own language.
