What are "Aymaran languages"?

Aymaran languages are a small family of Indigenous languages primarily spoken in the Andes region of South America, particularly in Bolivia and Peru. The most widely spoken Aymaran language is Aymara, which is used by millions of people and has a rich oral and written tradition. Aymaran languages are characterized by their agglutinative grammatical structure, where words are formed by adding various prefixes and suffixes, and a complex system of tense and aspect marking. These languages also have unique phonetic features and a focus on relational nouns. The study of Aymaran languages provides insights into the culture, social organization, and historical experiences of the Aymara people, as well as their interactions with other Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups in the region.
