Chapacura Language (Huachi, Chapacura)

The Chapacura language is no longer spoken today, though the closely related language Moré is still used by some indigenous Bolivians. Although the Chapacura language is no longer spoken in the community, it still has the status of one of Bolivia's official languages due to its cultural and historical importance.
