Description:
Andoa is an extinct Zaparoan language originating from Peru. Its ISO 639-3 code is "anb." It was found in the Pastaza River region of Peru, and not found at all in Ecuador, unlike some of the other Zaparoan languages in Peru. It is also known as Shimigae, Semigae, Gae, and Gay. The ethnic group speaks either Pastaza Quechua or Spanish because they are integrated into the Quechua ethnic group. In Ecuador there is still one fluent speaker who is attempting to teach the language to others to keep it alive.
