Tinigua (Tiniguas) is an endangered language isolate spoken in Colombia. As of 2000, Tinigua had only two remaining speakers, both male. They lived in Meta Department, between the Upper Guayabero and Yari rivers. In 2013, this count had been reduced to one. Tinigua used to form a small language family with the now extinct Pamigua language.
