Nonuya is a Witotoan (Bora-Huitoto) language formerly spoken in Colombia and Peru. Its last native speaker, Humberto Ayarce, died in 2003, though six semi-speakers were recorded in 2015. The surviving community intermarried with the Andoke and Muinane peoples, and most Nonuya today speak Muinane and Spanish; language revival efforts have been underway since 1991.
