Este diccionario documenta el léxico del iquito, una lengua indígena del norte de la Amazonía peruana. El iquito es un miembro de la familia lingüística záparo, cuyos otros miembros incluyen el andoa, al arabela, y el sápara (también conocido como záparo). El iquito se hablaba antiguamente en una extensa región entre los ríos Tigre y Napo, en el que ahora es el departamento de Loreto, Perú, pero en la actualidad solo lo habla un número reducido de ancianos de comunidades del río Pintuyacu y sus cercanías, cuatro de los cuales. Jaime Pacaya Inuma, Ema Llona Yareja, Hermenegildo Díaz Cuyasa y Ligia Inuma Inuma, contribuyeron al amplio conocimiento lingüístico, cultural e histórico que se documenta en este diccionario. Este volumen sirve de registro exhaustivo del léxico iquito, así como una descripción de los aspectos de la cultura iquito que son relevantes para comprender los usos y los significados de las palabras que han sido documentadas. Se ofrecen numerosos ejemplos del uso de estas palabras, junto con la descripción de sus propiedades gramaticales. También se ofrece un glosario de términos clave del castellano loretano que aparecen en las definiciones.

This handbook provides the first broadly comprehensive, typologically-informed descriptive overview of the languages of Greater Amazonia. Organized by genealogical units, the chapters provide empirically rich descriptions of the phonology and grammar of all Amazonian families and isolates for which data and descriptions exist.
