Murui Huitoto - or simply Murui (also known as Bue and Witoto) is an indigenous American Huitoto language of the Witotoan
family spoken by 2,900 indigenous people in western South America alongside the Ampiyacu, Putumayo, and Napo rivers. Approximately
1,000 Peruvians use Murui in both its written and oral forms. The language is accorded official status and is used in schools.
It is also used in churches. There are no Murui-an monolinguals in Peru: speakers of the language who do not also use another
language. The language has 1,900 speakers in southwestern Colombia where it has higher social utility and standing. It was
formerly spoken in Brazil, but is now extinct in that country. When written it uses the Roman Script. A dictionary and grammar
rules have been developed. |
