The Panoan languages are a group of indigenous languages spoken primarily in the western Amazon region, particularly in Peru and Brazil. This language family includes several languages, such as Shipibo-Conibo, Cashinahua, and Pano, which are used by various indigenous communities.
Panoan languages are known for their complex grammatical structures and rich vocabulary. They are part of the larger Pano-Tacanan linguistic family, which highlights their historical and linguistic connections to other languages in the region. Efforts are ongoing to preserve these languages as many speakers face challenges from modernization and cultural change.
