First, isn't this a place reserved for communications regarding the Aymara people? In any case, there are many articulate ways to express opposition to the American war. This rambling comment was not one of them. Instead it expresses a degree of simplification which embarasses those who are justl

Hola Fabienne, You can check out a great book created by Miguel Huanca at the University of Chicago designed for people like you. It is called AYMAR ARUX AKHAMAWA. It's a great introduction to the La Paz variant of the language. I believe you can order it by contacting the Center of Latin American

Hola. Estoy criando un website sobre la lengua y cultura Aymara Moqueguano. Me gustaría de saber se tienen unas ideas para el nombre do site. Pensé en www.AndeanAymara.org (o sea, Aymara Andino) pero eso no es perfecto, un nombre como www.sumajakaña.org puede ser difícil demás para los no-hablantes
