Aymara is spoken all across the north of Chile, but modern Aymara people have to express themselves in Spanish in order to become integrated.
As with other indigenous people, the Aymara people are bilingual. In general they use Spanish when dealing with global society and Aymara in their communal activities.
This language belongs to the Jaqi linguistic family, which is the second most spoken language, after Quechua, in the Andean area. Its territorial center is located in the area surrounding Titicaca Lake. Around 3 million Peruvians and Bolivians speak it, to which we must add other groups located in Argentina and Chile.
Aymara is characterized by the simplicity of its vowels. It has only 3 units: i, a, u. It is also known, by its system of 26 consonants, which give it a special richness and complexity. For example, parlakipasipxañanakasakipunikakispawa, is a complete communicative unit equivalent to a complex Spanish sentence. It means: I know that is desirable and necessary for us all to communicate forever, that's all.
