Puquina or pukina is an indigenous languages of South America which is not currently spoken whose vocabulary was preserved by traditional curanderos, callaguayas or yatiris, in the Kallawaya language, which is a combination or lingua franca derived from puquina and quechua.[1] Some authors have suggested that Puquina may have been a secret language among the Incan nobility of Perú, whereas "runa simi" or quechua was the common language.
In Peru puquina was spoken by the inhabitants of the provicen of the same name in the Moquegua region, the pukara who lived in Puno region. The language would have been also been spoken in the Arequipa, and Tacna regions, and in part of Cusco, and Puquina placenames are found throughout the region.
Since the institution of the Constitution of Bolivia in 2009, Puquina has been included among the 36 official languages Bolivia.[2]
History edit
The name "pukina" (o puquina) is used for the original language of the Puquina, Pukara, and Urus. It was studied in the end of the 19th century by Grasserie[3] and more recently by the distinguised Peruvian linguist Alfredo Torero[4] as well as Federico Aguiló.[5] The surviving corpus of Puquina includes catechisms by Luis Jerónimo de Oré[6] and another of unknown authorship[7] which may have been produced by Alonso de Barzana. Puquina is believed to be a language isolate, while kallawaya is a creolized version of Puquina with a strong influence of Quechua.
