    Fleck (2013:18) gives Shanenawa as a dialect of Yaminawa, as does Campbell (2012:101): Yaminawa (Pano-Tacanan, Panoan), with the dialects: Sharanawa, Yawanawa, Shanenawa [Katukina de Feijó], Shawanawa [Arara], Mastanawa, and Marinawa. Several of these are treated as independent languages in some sources. Ethnologue (2013) treats Shanenawa as an unclassified language.
