Comments on speakers
"La communauté yuhup n'est plus une communauté monolingue. Les jeunes et adultes (qui sont la majorité de la population) connaissent, à divers degrés, l'espagnol ou le makuna ... leur utilisation se limite uniquement aux domaines relatifs au contact ... Avec l'introduction de la scolarisation en espagnol (et la présence d'un maître d'école hispanophone), tous sont maintenant en contact direct et permanent avec cette langue."

[The yuhup community is not a monolingual community. Young people and adults (who are the majority of the population) know, to varying degrees, Spanish or Makuna ... their use is limited to only areas relating to contact ... With the introduction of schooling in Spanish (and the presence of Spanish-speaking school teacher), all are now in direct and continuous contact with that language.]

[The territory of Yuhup people are located between the Tiquié and Apaporis rivers, on the border between Colombia and Brazil. The Colombian Yuhup ... constitute a local group of 40 people who currently occupy a location at the mouth of the Uga, tributary of the Apaporis River.]

Speakers' Attitude
"À force d'être soumis à des jugements de valeur négatifs par ces groupes qui les méprisent, quelques Yuhup
en sont arrivés à avoir honte d'eux-mêmes et de leur langue... Néanmoins, la langue, dans son ensemble, s'est
maintenue vivante grâce au fait qu'elle est un signe d'identité ethnique."

[By being subjected to negative value judgments by those groups who despise them, some Yuhup have come to be ashamed of themselves and of their language ... Nevertheless, the language as a whole was kept alive thanks to the fact that it is a sign of ethnic identity.]
