Candoshi, also known as Murato, is an indigenous language of South America, spoken by 3000 people in Peru.
Candoshi is usually considered to be a language isolate (unrelated to any other living language.)
Some linguists have suggested a remote relationship to the
Jivaroan or
Arawakan language families,
but the evidence for this is slight.
