Languages of the Andes
The Andean and Pacific regions of South America are home to a remarkable variety of languages and language families, with a range of typological differences. The Languages of the Andes documents in a single volume the indigenous languages spoken and formerly spoken in this linguistically rich region, as well as in adjacent areas. This linguistic diversity results from a complex historical background, comprising periods of greater communication between different peoples and languages, and periods of fragmentation and individual development.
The authors provide both historical and contemporary information, and illustrate the languages with detailed grammatical sketches. Grouping the languages into different cultural spheres, it describes their characteristics in terms of language typology, language contact, and the social perspectives of present-day languages. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be a valuable source for students and scholars of linguistics and anthropology alike.
