- A Native American language with millions of speakers? Yes, it exists! Quechua is important on many levels. It has been the main language in the Inca empire. Today it is an official language in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. It is a language of a rich and ancient culture. Studying it helps us to preserve and to remember it!

Quechua is also known as "sweet language" between the people who still speak it. It's not so difficult to learn at a basic level. Greetings from Lima, Perú
that's nice, thanks for sharing ☺️
It has *nineteen* cases and you call it "not so difficult to learn"? Even at a "basic level" how do you deal with learning so many cases?
@@SpectatorAlius the cases are like the English preposition, but these are post position ,because of the sov order ,the agglutinative / polysynthetic grammar is really regular and simple.
moreover, it does not have the complications that other Amerindian languages present such as tones, consonants have neither palatization, nor implosivity, etc., it does not have the dual or the paucal, it seems to me rather simple and regular
@@SpectatorAlius Why are cases so overrated? There are so many tougher things, especially verbs. Cases are just like prepositions in English... instead of a separate words we club affixes
@@SpectatorAlius As it has already been mentioned, number of cases is not the essence of how hard it is to learn a language. Cases systems in agglutinative languages are pretty much different from those of, say, fusion languages (e.g. all slavic languages). In an aggl.language a case denotes a rather narrow grammatical form, a very little certain sitation. Moveover, those situations can be conveniently combined in groups - then it becomes easier to learn the stuff. I never learned Kechwa nor Aymara, but I learned Suomi (Finnish). A typical agglutinative language, frightening all newbies to death with its "huge number" of cases. And again - that's not the 'case' ;o)

I named my cat Michi, which is the Quechua word for cat
Woah, really? In my family’s native language from north Mexico, the word for cat is Misi.
@@eightaquafina5968 in Nahuatl (the language of the Aztec and modern Nahuas) we say miston :)
@@gustavovillegas5909 They are similar because both are from the Uto-Aztecan language family🥰
I understand that, here in Argentina and in many other places of south america, we all call out our kitties with a "michi", specially if you don`t know the cat`s name. It`s so a common way to call out cats, that i didn`t even know it was a Quechua`s word. Nice fact!
@@leonelgrabuiski949 I lived in Buenos Aires as a kid
Hi, I am from the north of Chile
Native speakers of pre Hispanic languages are always trying to preserve their languages but they also learn Spanish. Mostly in the mountains everyone speaks aymara here but also some people speak quechua as well.
We also love our culture here in the north so everyone tries to learn at least some words in those languages.
Love your channel, keep doing great content :)
@@jakerobert3118 Maybe recently, yes, for some ignorant, intolerant people. But early in our history the colonists borrowed lots of Algonquin words for place-names, animals, vegetables, and even politics ("caucus")
I met my ex-wife (Chilena) in Arica and traveled to the Altiplano, Putre, Parinacota, etc. and loved hearing Aymara. I have heard Aymara has some similarities to Japanese?
they are forced to learn Spanish and our languages are being eroded by Colonial languages.
Great to see promoting another interesting and important language
Hope that you can add links to websites that teach these languages plus teach us to say hello goodbye and other greetings?
Thank you
@@jakerobert3118 Even if they get mad at Spanish, Chinese, etc signs which are foreign languages to the land they should show tolerance & respect to at least the indigenous languages of the land.
Hey! Thak you very much for posting this video. Quechua speakers are working developing new tools in order to promote the language, we try to start a course in Duolingo, use the artificial intelligence to create translators and readers, and make the Wikipedia vesion greater. Anchata añayki kay widiyu ruwasqaykimanta. Qullasuyumanta napaykuyki (greetings from Bolivia)
Katari hace videos vos. Saludos de un hermano jujeño. mi hatun mama hablaba quichua, hablo muy poco, entiendo más. Es lo nuestro, me gustaria aprender más pero de un boliviano y no de un gringo/a.
If there was a Quechua course on Duolingo, I would so take that course!
The Guarani language is also another language that is thriving in Paraguay
They did it right. They speak Guarani on a national level along with Spanish. Other countries hsould follow the trend.
"thriving" not sure about that i am trying to learn quechua but i can't find any videos in the language seems like the language is going extinct.
Guarani is actually more endangered from what it's usually reported. I know, I'm from the mostly rural interior of Paraguay, the supposed stronghold of the language and even here most children speak Spanish almost exclusively, knowledge of Guarani being limited to just some words and phrases.
@@ezequieler4339 Oh no :'( that's sad to hear
Yeah, I’ve heard that Guarani is widely spoken in Paraguay but when I look for resources to learn it, there isn’t much. I guess it’s thriving compared to other indigenous languages as a whole. I just wish I could meet native speakers of these endangered languages and have them explain their language so I can record it. But my parents fear letting me go to rural parts of Argentina (where we are from.) So my research is limited behind a screen.
If any of y’all know resources even remotely related that can help me please let me know!
Allinllachu masiy! Ñuqa parlani wakin runasimita; ñuqa yachashani runasimita Michigan hatun yachay wasipi! It feels very empowering to be able to learn a language from my home country, Perú, even though I live far away (Thanks U of Michigan), and its awesome to know theres people from other places in the world who are showing interest in the language! Keep up the good work! Tupananchiskama!
Thank you so much! It is awesome that you are learning Quechua! I think it's so important to keep language diversity and to maintain and research the rarer languages ☺️
As I see, nowadays in Peru, the goverment and local authorities promote free courses of Quechua in their localities. As you said. Quechua is a family of languages, some of them are similar but others not. For example: quechua from cusco are very similar to quechua Bolivia and argentina, and a little different of Quechua Ayacucho. On other hand, Quechua wanka, wich lives in center of Peru, is different to Quechua Ayacucho, quechua Cusco, Quechua Bolivia,.. mostly those speakers can't understand the other quechua...
Very interesting, thank you for explaining 😉
Native American languages have always fascinated me! As an American myself, I’d love to see a video on a Native American language in the US!
She made a video about Navajo
I collect foreign language Tintin books and I wish they would translate 'Prisoners of the Sun' into Quechua since it's set in the Inca world.
Cool! Yeah that would be awesome!
Very interesting and worthwhile video. Quechua now uses a Latinized alphabet, as noted in your excellent video, but during pre-Pizarro (pre-Atahualpa) times, records were kept using Quipu, a set of knotted strings. It is known that these were used for accounting and record keeping, but there were early Quipu readers that reportedly could "read" more than accounts from the Quipu strings.
Robert Schlesinger
As it did throughout the Americas, the Roman Catholic Church tried to destroy as much of the culture, particularly the elite culture, of the American Indians as possible. It was constantly pressuring the Royal authorities to destroy cultural artifacts and monuments. In the Third Council of Lima, the church decreed that all of the quipu be burnt. They certainly must have been used for more than simple accounting because it is known from the writings of the Spanish that the quipu readers could read entire stories and histories from them. Sadly, because the Inca were very efficient and well-organized, the quipu were kept in large libraries, and that allowed the church to gain easy access to them to burn them.
@@RCSVirginia Thank you for your comment. You're absolutely right, the Catholic Church and others intentionally destroyed extraordinarily valuable and important historical heritage of ancient peoples. Their behavior in doing this and torturing these peoples was reprehensible and evil. Diego Da Landa was amongst the most evil of the priests that burned thousands of Mayan and Aztec codices. As they were about to burn a Mayan chieftain alive, the priest offered him redemption in heaven in the afterlife. The chief asked the priest if there were people like him there in their heaven. The priest replied Yes. The chief then said that he didn't want to go there. That says a lot. Thanks again for your comment.
This is literally my favorite language!
I want to learn Quechua!
I love this style of language exploration where you talk about the relevant political and anthropological history. keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!!
I looove how your videos always start with the history. My favorite part of learning about languages is how history and languages are inseparable!
Yes, I absolutely agree! Thank you for your comment :)
I'm so happy you posted a video about Quechua!
Awesome 👌 quechua here in Colombia is never heard, the southeastern region (that is more similar to Ecuador than to Colombia) also lacks that indigenous culture rising on Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia (whose indigenous population % is far larger). As always nice video 😎
Eso lo hacen para evitar la discriminación y bulling que los coloshos les hacen!!!
I love this Julie!! Just brilliant as always ☺️next time maybe Guaraní from Paraguay 😉😉
then you'll have to participate 😉
Che ho'u kambuy. I hope my Dulingo Guarani has impressed you haha. I have to ask, what is the opinion of the youth on Guarani? Are they proud of it, it is Spanish gaining dominion and popularity? Is the government securing the future of the language by making it official, in media and even in institutions such as medicine?
@@kinok5927 well, guarani is taught in schools since primary school, it's official with Spanish, nowadays guarani is losing own words (native words) to Spanish words( example py'a meaning heart has been replaced to korasõ an Spanish word), there are some media here and it's obligatory to speak guarani at the University in some careers such as Medicine.
“Hanacpachap cussicuinin” is a hymn in Quechua. It was published in Peru in 1631 and is the first polyphonic choral work printed in the New World.
Another wonderful look at language. Let's hope that the Quechua language survives and prospers.
cheers from rainy Vienna, Scott
Ya tienes una suscripción mas. Me gusta tu vídeo. Saludos desde Cusco Perú.
I've just discovered this channel through my own interests in languages - I love it! So much information and so many interesting facts, and well-presented too! Thanks so much for creating this :-)
I’m peruvian and I LOVED your video!!!!!
Just found your channel and this was a great video! If you ever could, I'd love a video on Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec empire and most spoken Indigenous Mexican language today :) The Huasteca variety is the most common
Hey! I''m working on a video on Nahuatl right now actually! Are you a native speaker by any chance? If you want to share some insights in this language feel free to contact me on julingochannel@gmail.com ☺️
In Chile, it's quite difficult to find people who actually speak this language. Probably, as you mentioned, north of Chile living in the Andes speak still Quechua. But nowadays, there are some words which had been camouflaged into the Chilean Spanish that come from Quechua, such as the case of "morocho" (dark person), "pucho" (cigarette), "carpa" (tent), "cancha" (court sport), "guagua" (baby), and so on.
okay, okay, no sure how i came here , but what the...?!! yes, its amazing that foreigners are more interest to learn and speak Quechua than people in those places with this language background... like if you speak Quechua 8-)
Thank you doing a video on a language and a people I learned about a few years ago from a friend who was from Peru. From what I was told, the Quechuan language is slowly dying out. My friend can trace her ancestry to both the Inca and the Spanish.
I am fascinated in learning about other cultures and their languages. A while back you did a video about the Magyars, their culture and language. My mother's side of the family is Hungarian. I learned more about my Hungarian heritage from that 1 video by you than from my mother and all my Hungarian relatives over the nearly 8 decades of my life. I thank you greatly for that. I would love to learn about your language. I hope some day you do a video about your country, its people, its customs and traditions and its language. BTW, I subscribed a few years ago after viewing one of your videos... Again, thank you for expanding my horizon of knowledge.
P.S. I tried to learn Mandarin, but since I am tone deaf , I find it almost to learn it because of the 4 tones( actually there are 5). Being tone deaf is akin to being color blind in the visual world. I am also dyslexic to some degree.
I just recently discovered your channel and I find it fascinating. I also appreciate languages and I try to learn what I can from languages spoken in the U.S. I am a speech pathologist and I have met families from different countries, mainly Spanish speaking countries. I recently started working with a child whose family speaks Karen, and Asian language, maybe connected to Mongolian. It is a very unique. I have not found much information on it. Could you do a segment on Karen? By the way, you are very talented. I am very impressed how you articulate the languages.
I really enjoy the way you make these videos. The depth of information and way you present it all is so well done. Very fun and interesting! Thanks for making them!

My favorite obscure language maven. Thanks Julie.
Have heard that language... lost in the andes with just a little bit of spanish, stranded in a mountain village: no espanol, solo quechua y aymara... was a shock at first, but I got a wholesome lesson what just hands and feet can communicate combined with the most amazing hospitality...
The only phrase I remember is: "mikuna mixhki" which a) may be wrong and b)if not means something like "this food tastes great!"

Love the video, Julie! Keep up the good work! I always get giddy when I start one of your videos, something about your obvious enthusiasm for the topic is just really nice.
I hope you'll one day do a video on Ainu.
@@JuLingo All I know about it is that it uses Japanese katakana in a non standard way to represent its own sounds, and that most of the city names in Hokkaido are actually Japanese transliterations of their Ainu names.
This is absolutely amazing. Although I live in the United States I've been interested in the Quechuan languages for years. Andean cultures are so beautiful. Thank you.
Also RENATA FLORES!!
Loved it Julie. Cheers
Julie, let me ask you: once you said you were not a professional linguist, just an enthusiast. Where did it come your interest in such exotic languages? Do you travel a lot?

WOW, Quechua is SUCH a BEAUTIFUL tongue; and you & your cat are SOOO beautiful too!!! Your interest in languages, Julie, is REALLY "speaking" to me, & now I'd REALLY love to meet you!!! 😄💓😍💓
As Peruvian, you have so GOOD GOOD DATA ! There is information that even me I didn't know 😮😮😮well... I'm not Quechua speaker, even my father and on consecuensce my grandma(1918-2013) are rom The Andes,from the Highlands, she didn't know it because her roots were from Portuguese...yeah there were Portuguese inmigrants during the Spanish Viceroyalty in Peru.
My grandma from Jujuy spoke quechua, I speak very little, understand more though. Good video. Hopefully encourage Quechua-speakers to put videos.
Nice to meet Gabby...
Quechua in Argentina has some oficial status in some of the northen provinces. Most Argentinean speakers of Quechua live in Santiago del Estero. I don't know how similar their Quechua is to other dialects, because the've been isolated for quite some time. Official sources give around 800.000 speakers, and I'm sure the number is growing due to continued migration from Bolivia and Perú, which has brought the languague further south, to Buenos Aires fo example. Teaching of Quechua (and other native languages) at university level has had quite a surge in the last decade or so although it is still pretty uncommon. I've been told that language courses in Quechua, Mapudungún and Guaraní in the University of Buenos Aires are increasing in popularity. I hope the trend continues
That last phrase (to please hit "like") sounded like it ended in "pachamama" which I recall from my time in Peru meant "earth mother". Okay, we'll support our pachamama as she brings us all these great linguistic videos. :)
Hi juLi, I was wondering if you could make a video about Lithuainian language!
It's such a fascinating language and I'm sure you will get a kick out of just taking a look at it, it has everything in a language because according to linguists it's one of those ancient and isolated indo-european languages.

I am learning to speak Kichwa, which is a dialect of Quechua spoken in Ecuador in Otavalo, Imbabura. It uses different words than Quechua but has similarities as well. It is a very difficult language for us English speakers to learn since the sentence structure for Quechua or Kichwa is so different from English. The younger generation in Ecuador is placing more importance in learning ln learning their language and there are organizations that are helping to encourage them to learn Kichwa. This is a very well put together documentary on the language.
Came here from her Cymraeg video, but loving the format. Amazing that this language first used on TV so recently, with 7 million + speakers? European langauge imperialism has so much to answer for, Cymraeg included (Patagonia). It seems senior languages have this lower-class stigma compared to the imperial languages, but this is slowly changing.
Wonderfull vídeo!
Please, make a vídeo about the Guarany language of Paraguay and Brazil!
That's wonderful that a unique and beautiful language is being actively preserved and used!
Hey JuLingő, your cat is very beautiful , can you do a video with your cat soon please , wow hes beautiful🐈
dear girl, regard from croatia. i follow any video you done.
Nice video, thank you. However to be more accurate, Quechua is not the Inka's language, but is a languange tha existed already before them. The Inkas first language was the Pukina, but when they conquered and expanded to other lands they realized the quechua was a extended language at Northern Cuzco, then they took advantage of that and adopted quechua as a general language for their empire. The inkas were the ones who expanded quechua to the current Bolivian lands for example. You can confirm what I mention looking for professor Cerrón Palomino videos in CZcams. Regards!!
