Aymaran Languages
Aymaran (also Jaqi or Aru) is one of the two dominant language families in the central Andes alongside Quechuan. The family consists of Aymara, widely spoken in Bolivia, and the endangered Jaqaru and Kawki languages of Peru. Hardman (1978) proposed the name ''Jaqi'' for the family of languages (1978), Alfredo Torero ''Aru'' 'to speak', and Rodolfo Cerrón Palomino ''Aymaran'', with two branches, Southern (or Altiplano) Aymaran and Central Aymaran (Jaqaru and Kawki). Other names for the family are Jaqui (also spelled Haki) and Aimara. Quechuan languages, especially those of the south, share a large amount of vocabulary with Aymara, and the languages have often been grouped together as Quechumaran. This proposal is controversial, however; the shared vocabulary may be better explained as intensive borrowing due to long-term contact. Family division Aymaran consists of two or three languages: * Aymara. Southern and Central dialects divergent and sometimes considered separate ...

Aymara People
The Aymara or Aimara (, ) people are an Indigenous people in the Andes and Altiplano regions of South America. Approximately 2.3 million Aymara live in northwest Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru.

Corazón Aymara
''Corazón Aymara'' (''Aymara Heart'') is a 1925 lost Bolivian silent feature film, directed by Pedro Sambarino. Production background This film is generally described as Bolivia's first ever fiction feature film. It portrays an Aymara woman struggling against accusations that she is unfaithful to her husband. Jeff Himpele, in ''Circuits of Culture: Media, Politics, and Indigenous Identity in the Andes'', places ''Corazón Aymara'' in the context of the Bolivian state's " indigenist project" of the 1920s and 1930s. ''Corazón Aymara'', like José Maria Velasco Maidana's '' Wara Wara'' (1930), served as a "visual register of the modernization of the nation state" - thus, according to José Antonio Lucero of the University of Washington, "narrating a future of synthetic mestizo nation building". Lucero also notes that indigenous characters in the cinema of the time were orientalised and played by non-indigenous actors and actresses. By contrast, historian Carlos Mesa, who fo ...
