Oro Win is a moribund Chapacuran language spoken along the upper stretches of the Pacaás Novos River in Brazil.[2] As of 2010, there were only six known speakers of Oro Win in Brazil, and all of them were over 50 years of age.[3] However, other reports dictate that there are 12 speakers as of 2015, and there are efforts to increase use of Oro Win among the community.[4][5]
