    Crevels (2012:174): The distinction between language and dialect is often more socio-political than linguistic, as in the case of Ignaciano and Trinitario. Aikhenvald (1999a: 67) lists Moxo and Ignaciano as alternative names for the same language; Ethnologue lists Mojo as an alternative name for Ignaciano, with Trinitario as a dialect with limited intelligibility, but also lists Trinitario as a separate language with the dialects Loreto [Loretano] and Javierano.
