Other comments: Puruborá became extinct recent years. By 2015 there were only two elderly semi-speakers out of 50 ethnic population in Rondônia state: headwaters of the Rio São Miguel, tributary of Guaporé right bank.

Puruborá is seriously endangered language, the data I have was collected with few elders who had not spoken the language over a period than more than 30 years, and who remember words, but do not have fluency in the language any

more. The language was supposed to be extinct in the 80´s, and I have been working with them trying to document whatever we still can.
