Yanesha (formerly Amuesha; autonymously Yanesha') is an Arawakan language of the Andes-Amazon ecotone of central Peru, geographically and linguistically isolated within the Arawakan family — Yanesha is its own subgroup within Maipurean Arawakan, with no close sister languages. The Yanesha people developed a distinctive cultural identity in the Selva Central, with intensive yuca/manioc cultivation and ceremonial connections to the cloud-forest landscape. UNESCO classifies definitely endangered with intergenerational transmission largely lost; younger generations are Spanish-dominant. The Mexican Bible Society and SIL have produced literacy materials since the 1960s, with the New Testament published 1980.
