Amadeo García García
Last speaker of the Taushiro language
Amadeo García García (born c. 1949, Gómez Caño) is a Taushiro man who is the last speaker of the Taushiro language, a language isolate. In June 2015, he was residing in "Intuto on the Tigre River in the northeastern Peruvian region of Loreto." Zachary O’Hagan did targeted field work with him on topics such as ethnohistory, genealogy, sociocultural practices, lexicon, and grammar.
As of December 2017 government linguists from Peru's Ministry of Culture, working with Amadeo, have created a database of 1,500 Taushiro words, 27 stories, and three songs.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Amadeo García García” as last speaker of the Taushiro language. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as last speaker of the Taushiro language. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q139736800. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1949, 2015 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
