30102 Matsés 1000-9999 There are more speakers in Peru than Brazil. The Ethnologue lists 1,000 in Brazil and 2,000 in Peru. The
Socioambiental web site puts the population at 829 in Brazil in the year 2000 ... Another web site
estimates that there are currently 760 Matsés in Brazil (http://www.korubo.com/AMAZONDOC/
amazongallery.html). Perhaps one of the most accurate estimates comes from Fleck, who
completed his Ph.D. dissertation on the Matsés in 2003. He bases his information on figures from
another researcher who conducted a census in 1998, and on estimates of population increase.
Fleck (2003:21) estimates that there was a total population of between 2,100 and 2,200 in 2003.
About 1,400 of those would be in Peru, with the remaining 800 in Brazil. A Survey of the languages of the Javari River Valley, Brazil On 2200 1000-9999
