Aguano language
Aguano is the extinct language of the Aguano people of Peru. Loukotka (1968) identified it with Chamicuro, but Chamicuro speakers say that the Aguano people spoke Quechua (Wise 1987). However, Steward (1946) notes that the Aguano had adopted Quechua soon after the Conquest and that their original language is unclassified. More recently, Campbell & Grondona (2012) leave Aguano unclassified due to lack of attestation.
