Wachiperi
Wachiperi is an endangered indigenous language of Peru belonging to the Harákmbet language family. The Wachiperi peoples originated in the Madre de Dios region but relocated due to enslavement during the "Rubber Boom". There are a few factors that greatly affected the number of Wachiperi speakers. These factors include: relocation, disease and using Spanish in favor of Wachiperi. An outbreak of smallpox occurred within the Wachiperi community when a road opened allowing for direct travel into Cusco. There are around one hundred speakers of Wachiperi left in Peru.
