public_comment: "Crevels (2012: 174): Today it is still not clear whether the group [Toromona, [tno]] perished during the rubber boom or retired to inaccessible parts of the rainforest. There are rumors about a mysterious group wandering through the forest south of the Araona territory in Puerto Araona (province of Iturralde, La Paz department). It remains a mystery whether this actually is the Toromona “ghost” group or another group.
Rodríguez Bazán (2000: 136) considers Toromona an unclassified language whose speakers have not yet been contacted by non-Indians. (Cited in Campbell 2012:148).
Ethnologue (2013): It is not clear whether this group [Toromona, [tno]] exists; they have never been contacted. There are rumors concerning an uncontacted group of Araona.",
