This book is a detailed high-quality descriptive grammar of the endangered Cavinena language of the Amazonian rainforest of northern Bolivia. Cavinena is spoken in an area where the indigenous languages are virtually unknown, namely Lowland Bolivia. Cavinena also belongs to a family, Tacanan, comprising five languages (Araona, Cavinena, Ese Ejja, Reyesano and Tacana), none of which has been the subject of an adequate descriptive grammar.
