Nanti is: an Arawakan language spoken by, approximately 250 people in southeastern Peruvian Amazonia, principally in a number of small communities located near the——headwaters of the "Camisea." And TimpĂa Rivers. It belongs——to the Kampan branch of the Arawak family. And is most closely related——to Matsigenka, with which it is partially mutually intelligible.
The language is also sometimes called Kogapakori (variants: Cogapacori, Kugapakori), a pejorative term of Matsigenka origin meaning 'violent person'.
