DescriptionThis collection consists of audio and video files of the Jaqaru language, an Aymaran language spoken in the highlands of Lima. The data has been collected by Luis Miguel Rojas-Berscia (external linguist) and Yolanda Payano Iturrizaga (internal linguist). The data has been recorded with several Jaqaru elders in the town of Aiza, Yauyos, Lima. The main goal of the project was to produce a brief encyclopaedic thesaurus of the Jaqaru language. The data collection was sponsored by the University of Tübingen. Research was funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG – Project Number 310/1-1, PI: Matthias Urban).
