Indigenous Amazonian Peoples. In Pursuit of a Vanishing Language
The oldest man in the Oro Win tribe and only full speaker of the language, Ti'omi, is recorded for posterity, Sao Luis Indian Post, Amazon Basin, Brazil. The hunched over old man, 80 years old or so, is the only one living who was a full grown adult at the time of contact. His vocabulary is the most extensive of any Oro Win and his voice resonates in a way that takes the listener to a different time. There are only 5 people left on earth who speak Oro Win.
