Abstract:
Aymar Arux Akhamawa (Aymara Language Is Like This) is the first trilingual (Aymara/Spanish/ English) textbook available for the Aymara language. Aymara is an indigenous language spoken by approximately three million people across Bolivia, Perú, Chile, and parts of Argentina. This textbook presents students with an introduction to the sounds of Aymara, basic sentences, vocabulary, and grammar. The book - appropriate for master, doctoral, and advance undergraduate students - is organized by cultural themes, in which students practice Aymara pronunciation, grammar, structure drills, narratives and useful expressions through dialogues, supplements and reading. These skills are matters of habit, acquired only through extensive practice.
