Panoan
The term "Panoan" refers to a family of indigenous languages spoken primarily in the Amazon rainforest, particularly in regions of Peru and Brazil. This language family includes several languages, such as Shipibo-Conibo and Cashinahua, which are used by various indigenous groups. The Panoan languages are known for their complex grammatical structures and rich oral traditions.
Panoan speakers often engage in traditional practices, including hunting, fishing, and agriculture, which are integral to their cultural identity. The preservation of the Panoan languages and cultures is crucial, as they face challenges from external influences and environmental changes in the Amazon.
