Global Voices in Aymara: Preserving Indigenous Language Online Global Voices, the multi-lingual news/blog aggregation site has announced that they are adding the first American Indigenous language, Aymara, to their site
"One of the newest Global Voices Lingua sites is also its first in an indigenous language, Aymara. This native language is spoken by more than 2 million people across the Andes, especially in Bolivia and Peru, where it is among the official languages. There are also people who speak Aymara in parts of Chile and Argentina, as well as in the Aymara diaspora." ..."It may be true that most readers of Global Voices in Aymara have no trouble reading Global Voices in Spanish instead, but the project is part of a larger goal of encouraging Aymara speakers, especially young people, to embrace the language of their ancestors. Making interesting content available on the Internet, is only the first step for the Jaqi Aru project and the Global Voices in Aymara translation team in hopefully setting an example for other indigenous and minority language communities around the world." Global Voices is a great resource for language learners with sites in most "major" languages and many "minor" languages as well. In other words, you can make your own bilingual texts in many combinations including English. For instance, the article I linked to is also available in Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Malagasy.
