Peruvian seems most likely, yes... But of course there is more than one Peruvian Quechua...

Well anyway to me this seems Cuzqueno, but I don't know enough yet to be sure, and also haven't really read anything but Cuzqueno and Ayacuchano yet. Ayacuchano I think uses more often the trivocalica writing as does this texts, but doesn't have aspiratives and glottal stops - and in Cuzco the trivocalica is becoming more common too I think.

So here's the big question: is anyone interested in more lessons? We had only just started really, but I'd like to know if there is any interest.

For Quechua or Lakota? :lol:

If you mean Quechua:
http://www.quechuanetwork.org/dictionary.cfm?lang=e (this dictionary doesn't work sometimes - but it's pretty extensive)

If you mean Lakota:
I had to buy a dictionary, because I couldn't find one. I might just have to make one online soon :x

Hmmm.

Ñukaka mikunata munani. I want to eat.
I-(subject) to-eat-(object) I-want

I would imagine that it could the other way too, though in Lakota and other American Indian languages, it's usually something SOV. I believe as long as the particles are added to the words (ta, ka), it gets the meaning across.

Then again, in english it would be kinda odd to hear:
To eat I want.
but we get the meaning

i'd agree with nero...
Though you can sometimes change word order for emphasis...

It's not like I'm expecting to get answers soon or anything, but I have a few questions anyway. :P

1. Does anybody know whether -di is used as an emphatic suffix in Imbabura Quechua? I found a paper that seems to suggest it is. And if that's true, does it have a cognate in Cusco Quechua, and if so, what is it?

2. Rikita listed the following kinship terms on another thread:
apuski, apucha - grandfather
hatucha - grandmother
haway, willka - grandchild
awkillu - great-grandfather
awkilla - great-grandmother
anpullu - great-grandchild
chupullu - great-great-grandchild

If these words and translations are correct, how do you say 'great-great-grandfather' or 'great-great-grandmother'?
