quechua

I've had a Quechua 70L for six years and a Berghaus 60L for four years.

Southern Quechua has a reported event evidential affix as well.

But, I guess I was more surprised hearing Quechua than I should have been.

A friend who is a speaker of Quechua was once horrified, hearing that a man was going to be given a life sentence for murder in Bolivia.

I'm pretty sure there's not, say, a Quechua dictionary on my phone.

She teaches the Quechua language in Hawaii now.

Last I heard she's a professor of the Quechua language in Hawaii and lives alone with a large dog and has probably aged out of her fertile window.

I found this serpent amulet on Etsy [0] that implies that the word Amaru means serpent in Quechua so I looked that up and found a nice description that may help explain breaking the pattern at the head.

I have a couple slings my cousin brought back from Tibet, and a few years ago when I was in Peru I brought some back from there as well (they're called 'huaraca' in Quechua I think).

To this day the Quechua homeland in Bolivia and Peru remain the least developed regions of South America, with HDIs comparable to those found in poorer states of India and China, compared to much of South America's (excluding Venezuela due to their collapse) HDI converging around 0.800-0.850.

Whatever the facts of the case were in the end, what is interesting is that for Quechua speakers like my friend, due to the use of the reported event evidential, there was no confession, even though all of the events of a murder were stated in the first person.

There are more Quechua words, but yes, a few food names are not "language influence" in any seruous way.

And, really interesting "hmmmmmm" contemporary things to encounter, if paying attention-- e.g., there was a tribe near Rurrenabaque that spoke Quechua?!

Now there's a lot of modismos ("chilenismos", local words formed usually by borrowing from natives Mapuche in south or Quechua in the north) but they still tend to follow more-or-less spelling.

> a few food names are not "language influence" in any seruous way Your conclusion is then that Chilean Spanish has no Quechua language influence in any serious way?

And talking to others to put your play on, all had to be communicated in Faroese and Quechua.

Quechua: Three-way Evidentiality Markers: Distinguish whether information is firsthand (-mi), hearsay (-si), or inferred (-chá).

In fact the word 'jerky' comes from Quechua.
