Cañari language
Cañar
or
Cañari
is a poorly
attested
extinct language of the Marañón River basin
in
Ecuador
which is
difficult
to
classify
,
apart
from being
apparently
related to
Puruhá
, though it may have been
Chimuan
or
Barbacoan
. It was the
original language
of the
Cañari people
before its
replacement
by
Kichwa
and later
Spanish
.
