Dialects Ipeka-TapuiaLanguage codes ISO 639-3 kpc Curripako (Curripaco, Kurripako, Ipeka-Tapuia-Curripako) is an Arawakan language principally of Colombia and Venezuela. There are also a thousand speakers in Brazil.
Curripako is quite close to Baniwa, and Aikhenvald (1999) considers them to be dialects. (Kaufman (1994) calls Baniwa–Curripako "Karu".) Various dialects of both Baniwa and Curripaco are called Tapuya. All are spoken by the Baniwa people.
