Description: | This recording was made on the sacred mountain of Wingopana with a couple from Yanahurco who agreed to climb the mountain. They explain that from the top of Wingopana it used to be possible to see Quito, but during a fight with the Quito mountain, the top of Wingopana was broken up into the pieces of rock you see today. After some discussion, the group heads up to the top of the rock, past areas that have been made into shrines for traditional ceremonies. | |
Ecuadorian Highland Quichua is a distinct Quechuan language unique to the Ecuadorian Andes, unintelligible with any other language in the Quechuan family. It is currently undergoing rapid shift to Spanish in all regions where it is spoken, but the most extreme language shift is found in Province of Pichincha where in most indigenous communities the only speakers are of advanced age. This project continues an ongoing effort to document Ecuadorian Highland Quichua across multiple provinces. This phase of the project focuses on areas of high language endangerment in Pichincha Province and bordering areas of neighboring provinces. Participants from multiple communities collaborate in filming conversations and activities including spoken Quichua in order to create a register of linguistic diversity across different dialects and micro-varieties. The recordings are then transcribed and translated to Spanish by a team of native speaker researchers. | ||
Sessions include conversation and activities, semi-structured in collaboration with participants. | ||
