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.
