<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Northwest Amazonia is one of the world’s most linguistically diverse regions, where languages from distinct families intertwine through centuries of multilingual interaction. The Caquetá-Putumayo
area stands out as a vibrant hub of linguistic convergence, shaped by sustained cultural exchange and social mobility. This talk delves into the languages of this region, exploring how contact and coexistence among diverse communities have influenced their
grammatical structures and linguistic identities. Through an analysis of shared patterns and unique innovations, it reveals the powerful role of multilingualism in shaping language evolution. By situating the Caquetá-Putumayo region within the broader context
of Northwest Amazonia, this study offers fresh insights into the intricate relationship between language, culture, and society, inviting a deeper appreciation of the dynamics that sustain linguistic diversity in South America.</span></p>
