Bora is an indigenous language of South America spoken in the western region of Amazon rainforest.

[citation needed] Early linguistic investigators thought that Bora was related to the Huitoto (Witoto) language, but there is very little similarity between the two.

The confusion was most likely due to the frequent intermarriage between the tribes and the Ocaina dialect of Witotoan which has many Bora words.

[3][4] The written form of Bora was developed by Wycliffe Bible Translators Wesley and Eva Thiesen with the help of the natives of the village of Brillo Nuevo on the Yaguasyacu river.

This has since facilitated more textbooks so that speakers can be taught to read and write in their language, rescuing it from extinction due to the prevalence of Spanish and Portuguese in the regions where it is spoken.
