Mapoyo, or Mapoyo–Yabarana, is a Carib language spoken along the Suapure and Parguaza Rivers, Venezuela. The ethnic population of Mapoyo proper is about 365. Yabarana dialect is perhaps extinct; 35 speakers were known in 1977.[1] An additional dialect, Pémono, spoken by an 80-year-old woman, was discovered in 1998.
