Chamacoco is a Zamucoan language spoken in Paraguay and maybe Brazil. It is also known as Ishiro and Jewyo. It is spoken by a traditionally hunter-gatherer society that has now turned to agriculture. Its speakers are of all ages, and generally do not speak Spanish or Guarani well.
[edit] Classification
Chamacoco is classified as a Zamucoan language, along with Ayoreo. There is relatively little information about the Zamucoan family.
