Mandahuaca is sometimes considered a dialect of Baré. It is not clear how big the ethnic group is, since the figure of 3,000 that used to be cited (e.g. Gaceta Indigenista 1975) probably included Baré, Baniva, and Mandahuaca. It is possible that today the language is extinct in Venezuela and it probably became extinct in the 1990s in Brazil, where speakers have shifted to Nheengatu (Ñengatú). (p. 217)
