Indigenous languages of South America encompass a rich tapestry of linguistic diversity, with hundreds of languages spoken by various Indigenous groups. These languages belong to several distinct families, such as Quechua, Aymara, and Guarani, each with its own unique characteristics and cultural significance.
Many of these languages are at risk of extinction due to globalization and the dominance of Spanish and Portuguese. Efforts are being made to revitalize and preserve these languages, as they hold invaluable knowledge about the history, culture, and traditions of Indigenous peoples in the region.
