The Aymara words of this vocabulary are writing by using the
Official Aymara Alphabet(This is a necessary redundance!)
The official Aymara alphabet is a system with twenty-six (26)
consonants and three (3) vowels: a,i, u( Click here to see more details). This alphabet can
be considered as a combination of the good ones proposed by, the Bolivian
native speaker and linguist, Juan de Dios Yapita and by, the
American Catholic Congregation, Maryknoll.
In the right side figure it is observed the 26 consonants of the
Aymara alphabet classified in five (5) groups, in accordance to the
articulation local of the speech device. These 5 articulation
locals used are: bilabial, dental, palatal, velar, y postvelar.
It is important to notice the symbol "'" which in Aymara denotates
glottalized sounds instead contractions as used in English.
This alphabet was officialy issued by the government of
Bolivia via the decree 20227-DS (Decreto Supremo) at May 9, 1984,
recognizing the Aymara Official Alphabet called as Único.
This alphabet was ratified by the government of Perú by issuing the decree
1218-RM (Resolución Ministerial) at November 18, 1985.
