This book investigates the contact between Arawak and Tucanoan languages spoken in the Vaupés river basin in northwest Amazonia, which spans Colombia and Brazil.

This study also examines changes brought about by recent contact with European languages and culture, and the linguistic effects of language obsolescence.
