| Description | Welcome to those who love the Quechua language and those who want to deepen their understanding of it! Attention academic researchers: you are requested to work with the anonymized version of these interviews which includes interlinear glosses and interviewees’ answers to a sociolinguistic survey. Access to the anonymized corpus may be requested from carloskires@gmail.com or YachaySimi@gmail.com This collection documents narratives, songs, poems, riddles, verses, and conversations with Quechua speakers in the rural highlands of Chuquisaca, Bolivia, in the communities surrounding the town of Tarabuco, home of the Yampara culture and celebrated as a World Heritage Site. A small percentage of Quechua monolingualism is still preserved there. This collection began in 2021 with 13 adult interviews. All interviews were videotaped, transcribed in Quechua, and translated into Spanish by Carlos Flores Quispe, a first language speaker of Quechua born and raised in Candelaria, one of the Quechua-dominant communities in the region and an important weaving center where agropastoralism is practiced today. In this covid-19 pandemic many elderly people died, now thinking about it I am more motivated to preserve the language of elders since it is rapidly disappearing. This corpus was made possible thanks to the sponsorship of Yachaysimi.org. Our hope is to preserve for posterity the way Quechua is spoken today and to use these recordings to produce grammar and school materials based on the Chuquisacan variety. This project will hopefully serve to promote the wisdom contained in this language and teach the values of its speakers around the world. |
