Aymara is one of the major languages of South America, spoken by more than two million people in the Andean region of
Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Argentina.
Actually, depending on the linguist doing the counting, there are somewhere between two and eight different Aymaran languages,
each of which is difficult for speakers of the others to understand. (The difference of opinion on the exact number is
because some of the varieties are considered to be dialects by some people and considered to be
distinct Aymaran languages by others.)
Some linguists think Aymara may be distantly related to Quechua, but
this has not been conclusively shown. There are many lexical similarities between the two languages, but that may be due to
vocabulary borrowing -- the structures of the languages are radically different from each other. Aymara is an agglutinating language
with SOV word order.
