COMMENTAIRES SUPPLÉMENTAIRES		Tukano is a widely-spoken lingua franca in the region. It is difficult to get an accurate count of speakers; sources vary considerably for this, and it is difficult to get figures for the speakers in Colombia. Confusion seems to come from the fact that many use Tukano as a second language, and some counts lump all speakers of all Tukanoan languages together under the label "Tukano". Socioambiental (2014) has population numbers: 6241 (Dsei/Foirn, 2005) in Brazil, 6,330 (1988) in Colombia (and 11 (INE, 2001) in Venezuela), but seems to be including ALL Tukanoan languages in that – Crevels' (2012) numbers may be complicated by this. In Colombia, the "Informe preliminar: auto-diagnostico sociolingüístico de la lengua tucano" (2009, done for the Ministry of Culture) identified 1,460 speakers of Tukano from an ethnic population of about 2104.

Speaker number: 1,500-2,000 in Colombia.

Ethnic population: Approximately 11,444 in Colombia and Brazil.

Welch and West (2000) mention the fact that there are many more speakers of Tucano than the number of 1,500–2,000 that they give for the ethnic group, since it is used as a lingua franca in the Paca and Papurı rivers region.

PLACES: Brazil and Colombia
