						Aymara is a native American language spoken by more than one million indigenous people in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. It probably stretched over a larger territory in the past but has lost ground to Quechua. Spanish and Aymara are co-official in Peru and Bolivia. Oral literature in Aymara features mythological stories and Aesop-like animal tales. Written literature in this language is limited. It is an inflected language, there is no gender, and it makes extensive use of suffixes. The semantics of Aymara is based on a three-value system that makes it able to express subtleties which many other languages can only express clumsily.
