About Aymara

Spoken around Lake Titicaca on the high Andean plain. Co-official in Bolivia and Peru. Marks evidentiality, flagging whether knowledge is firsthand, reported, or guessed. Runs on a simple three vowel system. Famously places the past ahead, since it is seen, and the future behind, since it is not.
