Movies: Best Movies in Aymara(Aymar aru)

Aymara (IPA: [aj.ˈma.ɾa] ; also Aymar aru) is an Aymaran language spoken by the Aymara people of the Bolivian Andes. It is one of only a handful of Native American languages with over one million speakers. Aymara, along with Spanish and Quechua, is an official language in Bolivia and Peru. It is also spoken, to a much lesser extent, by some communities in northern Chile, where it is a recognized minority language. Some linguists have claimed that Aymara is related to its more widely spoken neighbor, Quechua. That claim, however, is disputed. Although there are indeed similarities, like the nearly identical phonologies, the majority position among linguists today is that the similarities are better explained as areal features arising from prolonged cohabitation, rather than natural genealogical changes that would stem from a common protolanguage. Aymara is an agglutinating and, to a certain extent, a polysynthetic language. It has a subject–object–verb word order. It is based on a three-valued logic system. Aymara is normally written using the Latin alphabet. ()

Aymara is spoken in Chile, Peru and Bolivia and 2 movies (between 1930 and 1977) with this language have been recorded so far. Most of these movies were shot in Bolivia (2). Popular genres for Aymara movies are Drama (2) and Romance / Love (1). Chuquiago (1977) and Wara Wara (1930) are among the best known & most successful Aymara movies.
