The Yagua /ˈjɑːɡwɑː/^[2] language is spoken primarily in northeastern Peru by the Yagua people. As of 2005^[update], it appears that a few speakers may have migrated across the Peruvian-Colombian border near the town of Leticia. A third of the population is monolingual, and Yagua is the language of instruction in local primary schools.
