Classification
Totoro, along with Guambiano and the long-extinct Coconuco language, form a subgroup of the Barbacoan languages. These language varieties are sometimes considered to be dialects of one Coconucan language.
Within the Barbacoan family, Coconucan and Awa Pit constitute the northern branch of it.
