Yine (Chontaquiro, Simiranch) is a Maipurean language spoken in Brazil and Peru. Formerly referred to as Piro, it belongs to the Piro group which also includes Inapari(†), Kanamaré(†), and Apurinã. The name Mashco has sometimes been incorrectly applied to the Yine. The Manchineri who live in Brazil (Acre) and reportedly also in Bolivia speak a language that is very similar to Yine.
