Language
The official language is Spanish. Quechua, the Andean language that predates the Incas, has been given some official status and there is much pride in its use. It is spoken by millions of people in the sierra who have little or no knowledge of Spanish.
Another important indigenous language is Aimara, used in the area around Lake Titicaca.
