Other comments: Tinigua is a recently extinct or an endangered language isolate spoken in Colombia which used to form a small language family with the now extinct Pamigua language. As of 2000, Tinigua had only two remaining speakers, Sixto Muñoz (Tinigua name: Sɨsɨthio ‘knife’) and his brother, Criterio. Criterio died some time around 2005, leaving behind Sixto as the last remaining speaker of Tinigua. Formerly a resident of the Serranía de la Macarena in Meta Department, Sixto Muñoz currently resides in Jiw village of Barrancón, near the main town of Guaviare Department. They lived in Serranía de la Macarena is an isolated mountain range located in the Meta Department, Colombia. It was named after the Virgin of Hope of Macarena. The mountains are separated by about 40 km (25 mi) at their northern extreme from the East Andes.

Tinigua has recorded traditional numerals from 1 to 10, 11 to 13, 20, 21 and 30 many years ago, not sure if they are still using traditional numbers after three to ten or now use Spanish numerals after ten. New data for numbers after three is required.
