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.

It's combinations are harder than Quichua.
By the way,are there any useful dictionaries? I couldn't find any.

For Quechua or Lakota?
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

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.
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'?
