Piro is a Maipurean language spoken in Peru. It belongs to the Piro group which also includes Iñapari (†) and Apurinã. The principal variety is Yine. The Manchineri who live in Brazil and reportedly also in Bolivia speak what may be a dialect of Yine (Aikhenvald, Kaufman), or a closely related language (Ethnologue 16). This language is also called Contaquiro, Pira, Piro, Pirro, Simiranch, or Simirinche. The name Mashco has sometimes been incorrectly applied to the Yine. As of 2000, an estimated 4000 of the 5000 ethnic Yine people speak the language. They live in the Ucayali and Cusco Departments, near the Ucayali River, and near the Madre de Dios River in the Madre de Dio Region in Peru. Literacy is comparatively high. A dictionary has been published in the language and the language in taught alongside Spanish in some Yine schools. There are also about 400 speakers of Machinere. Piro has an active–stative syntax.
