Piro is a poorly attested, extinct Tanoan language once spoken in the more than twenty Piro Pueblos near Socorro, New Mexico.[2] It has generally been classified as one of the Tiwa languages,[3] though Leap (1971) contested whether or not Piro is truly a Tanoan language at all.[4] The last known speaker, an elderly woman, was interviewed by Mooney in 1897, and by 1909 all Piro members had Mexican Spanish as their native language.[2]
