Arawakan Southern Bolivia–Parana Moxos Bauré

Bauré is a nearly extinct Arawakan language spoken by only 40 of the thousand Baure people of the Beni department of northwest of Magdalena, Bolivia. Some Bible portions have been translated into Baure. Most speakers have been shifting to Spanish.

Baure has an active–stative syntax.
