The Machinere language is an Arawakan language spoken by over 1,000 of the Machinere people. It is a Piro language and part of the Southern Maipuran language family. The language is highly similar to the Yine language.[3] However, mutual intelligibility is low between the two groups.[4] It is one of the official languages of Bolivia.[5]
