Zaparoan (also Sáparoan, Záparo, Zaparoano, Zaparoana) is an endangered language family of Peru and Ecuador with fewer than 100 speakers.

Aushiri is generally accepted as Zaparoan, but Omurano remains unclassified in other descriptions.

Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the Omurano, Arawakan, Quechuan, and Peba-Yagua language families due to contact.

A rare feature is the existence of two sets of personal pronouns with different syntactic values according to the nature of the sentence.

Active pronouns are subject in independent clauses and object in dependent ones, while passive pronouns are subject in independent clauses and passive in dependent ones : Thus Loukotka (1968) lists the following basic vocabulary items for Zaparoan language varieties.
