    Damn we’re on a Native American language roll, I like it.
    This might be a bigger project, but I think covering the Tupian languages would be amazing, and if not the entire family, then Guaraní.
    Amazing video as per usual ^^

      During that time, the less populated regions of South America lost a large number of indigenous populations due to diseases, inhuman labor and wars, so the encomenderos took it upon themselves to mobilize slaves from Peru to that region. Today only 10% of the population of Santiago del Estero knows how to speak it, mostly the rural population.

    It would be interesting seeing the Araucanian Languages if you could find good sources on it, especially since the Language family gradually replaced most other Native Languages East of the Southern Andes during 1550 and 1850 in the Araucanization of Patagonia.

    I wonder how Peruvian/Bolivian people see Quechua. I used to play online games with a bunch of Peruvians (mostly from Lima) and some of them seems to have a negative view of it and see it as a peasant language.

      Hello
      As a Peruvian I tell you that we do not see Quechua as a peasant language
      IT IS a peasant language that is only spoken in the mountains while the vast majority of the population lives on the coast (practically a third of the population in the capital Lima). My country is also extremely racist towards the indigenous people
      In our country there are three main ethnic groups (obviously there are more like Afros and Asians)
      The mestizos: They are descendants of indigenous people and Europeans
      Creoles: People who are descendants of white Europeans
      Indians: It is unnecessary to explain
      Obviously the opinion you get depends on what "race" (sorry for using the term) they are.
      In my case I am proud of both pasts although my family also has German ancestry.

Peru is majority Amerindian and yet still represses its native identity in favor of Spanish, although as far as I know it’s getting better and Quechua, and other native languages aren’t considered as “dirty” anymore.
      So no, they’re no longer colonies, obviously, but they exist due to colonialism and the scars the Spanish empire has left behind are still healing.

      The Spanish priest created a unified quechua grammar and gave the language an alphabet, studied it and taught it at universities.
      Even during the independence wars Peru was the viceroyalty with the highest number of natives, and curiously it was the only modern nation which had no "libertador" of their own, since it was independence imposed by others.
