Languages

Kaufman (1994) gives the following breakdown:

• Ashéninka (a dialect cluster)
• Axininca
• Asháninka, Caquinte
• Pucapucari, Machiguenga, Nomatsiguenga

The Asheninka languages are close, apart from Axininca. Ashaninka and Caquinte are closest to each other, as are Machiguenga and Nomatsiguenga.

Ethnologue adds Nanti, which is closest to Machiguenga.
