Chipaya is a native South American language of the Uru–Chipaya language family. The only other language in the grouping, Uru,
is considered by some to be a divergent dialect of Chipaya. Ethnologue lists the language vitality as vigorous, with 1200
speakers out of an ethnic population of around 1800. Chipaya has been influenced considerably by Aymara, Quechua, and more
recently, Spanish, with a third of its vocabulary having been replaced by those languages. The Chipayan language is spoken
in the area south of Lake Titicaca along the Desaguadero River in the mountains of Bolivia and mainly in the town of Santa
Ana de Chipaya located in the Atahuallpa Province of the Bolivian department of Oruro north of Coipasa Salt Flats. Native
speakers generally refer to it as Puquina or Uchun Maa Taqu (our mother language), but is not the same as the extinct Puquina
language. Chipaya is an agglutinating language, but has features uncommon to most language of this type, according to preliminary
research by the organization DOBES. |
