Andoa is an extinct Zaparoan language of Peru. It was found in the Pastaza River region of Peru. It is also known as Shimigae/Semigae and Gae/Gay. The Andoa people have integrated into the Quechua and now speak either Pastaza Quechua or Spanish. In Ecuador there remains one fluent speaker who is attempting to teach the language to others to keep it alive. The last known speaker died in 1993.
