Sharanawa (Acre Arara) is a Panoan language of Peru. There are 200 Sharanawa (meaning 'good people') in Brazil, but only 3 speak the language. Its speakers call the language Arara.[1] The Mastanawa dialect may belong to either Sharanawa or Yaminawa, although the Mastanawa regarded their language to be identical with Sharanawa.
