Pleas korean languages histrory

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 ^^

It is interesting to note that Quechua actually expanded during Spanish Empire, especially in southern direction.

[@perritoconchupetefanaccoun2021]

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.

[@connormurphy683]

Yes, Peru Ecuador and Bolivia were majority Indian (linguistically) until at least the late 1800s. In fact Bolivia was so until like the 1950s

[@jout738]

It seems they expanded there in just in the start of 16th centaury and then the spaniards appeard to weaken all these languages little bit.

[@nsk370]

@@jout738 no the language actually expanded in 16th 17th and 18th century, i checked actual sources. Spaniards used the language as administrative and religious one and several native communities adopted the language during Spanish rule, including some that were never even ruled by Inca before.

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. Besides, another great Video, keep it up!

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.

[@hueytlahtoani1304]

Lima was founded by the Spaniards, so that makes sense

[@Ajclz]

I've Heard that people from big cities are ashamed/hate it

[@diegoyqulki]

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.

[@diegoyqulki]

[@Shunshnura]

@@ivancerdanpastor4690 They’re creations of colonialism and unfortunately still continue to exercise the oppression of Native languages and culture in favor of Spanish. 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.

​@@Shunshnurahahahaha Spain never repressed the Quechua culture and language, the republic did that

[@adge5182]

​@@Shunshnurathis are the scars of the Spanish empire: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXixdHaJf6eDf7s This song is a song written in the 16th century in Quechua by a Spanish priest who learned the language and wrote it to honour the virgin Mary. 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.
