Jaqaru Tribe

Language: Jaqaru is an Andean language of Peru, related to the Aymara language. Some linguists consider Jaqaru a dialect of Aymara, but they have many distinctions and it is difficult for speakers of Jaqaru and Aymara to understand each other, so they are usually treated as separate languages. A third language, Kawki, has often also been considered a dialect of Jaqaru. Jaqaru is an agglutinating language with SOV word order.
