Languages are instruments of communication and social construction of reality; to that extent, they are also vehicles of cultural construction and transmission. For this reason, one of the concerns that has gained consistency in the last twenty or thirty years is the extinction of languages.
This process is related within the framework of language contact, the preference of one language over the other (bilingualism); in the same way it is related to group identity in multilingual communities and certainly in sociopolitical, sociolinguistic, educational, etc. contexts. In this perspective, we highlight the sociolinguistic situation of the most demographically important languages of the Peruvian Amazon.
