Iñapari or Inamari is a critically endangered indiginious American language spoken by just four people in Perú along the Piedras river near the mouth of the Sabaluyo river. It is already extinct in neighboring Bolivia. All four remaining speakers are bilingual in Spanish and none have any children, which will likely lead to its extinction once the speakers die. It has a dictionary.[1][2]
