Others: 0.69%

Spanish is the official language
the native tongue is primarily Quechua but Aymara is also spoken.
in the alto Plano often the native languages are the language of every day life


Penfold
Spanish is the national language although a growing number speak English.

Spanish and Quechua, an Indian language


Mark T
Peru has more languages than one thinks. Spanish is the official language. Then there is Aymara spoken in the southern part of Peru, it overflows into Bolivia. Quechua was the official language of the Incas, it has over 30 different dialects. The military government a backward as all communist regimes are also a dictatorship from 1968 to 1979 was trying to make quechua the official language but the difference in dialects proved it would not work. Schools in those days were being forced to teach a language that had no official writing either. Even TV stations had a peruvian news anchor give a 5 minute summary of the news. Forcing the change in the language to one of the Quechua dialects would have been an economic disaster. Fortunately the rigime was overthrown by a lesser backward regime in 1975 and in 1980 a new government was inagurated.

Quechua and Aymara are the native languages but most people speak Spanish and English is becoming very popular.
