Chorote Indian Language (Choroti, Manjui)

Chorote is a Matacoan language of South America, spoken by around 2000 people in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. The language's two dialects, Iyojwa'ja and Iyo'wujwa, are fairly distinct from each other and some linguists consider them separate languages.
