Asháninka is an Arawakan language spoken by the Asháninca people along the Apurímac, Ene, Perené, and Tambo Rivers and tributaries
in Perú. The language has also been called both Asháninca and Campa; the latter of which is offensive. Like all languages
that have a predominance in any particular region of Perú, Asháninka is an official language in the area in which it is spoken
as provided by the Constitution. Literacy rates range from 10% to 30% compared to 15% to 25% literacy for the second language,
Spanish. The Campa (or Pre-Andean) group of the Maipurean language family includes what have been called Asháninka, Gran Pajonal
Campa, Ashéninka, Axaninca, Machiguenga, and Nomatsiguenga. As these are all very closely related linguistic systems, the
decision to call them dialects of a single language or different languages rests on social and political considerations rather
than mere linguistic similarity or difference, as in so many other places in the world. Attempts to unify the varieties with
one written standard have not been successful. |
