Las lenguas originarias son memoria, identidad y herencia viva de nuestros pueblos. A través de ellas se transmiten conocimientos, historias y tradiciones que han recorrido generaciones enteras por los caminos del Qhapaq Ñan.

El Sistema Vial Andino no solo conectó territorios, sino también culturas y lenguas que aún hoy continúan vivas en las comunidades andinas. Quechua, aimara y muchas otras lenguas originarias siguen acompañando las festividades, saberes y expresiones culturales vinculadas a este Patrimonio Mundial.

En el Día de las Lenguas Originarias, reafirmamos la importancia de preservarlas y valorarlas como parte fundamental de nuestra diversidad cultural y de la memoria viva del Qhapaq Ñan.

QUECHUA LANGUAGES AND CULTURES PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA!
https://web.sas.upenn.edu/quechua/

The renewed Quechua Languages and Cultures Program at the University of Pennsylvania, widely known as Quechua at Penn, is more than a language program; it is a vibrant space for intercultural learning, Indigenous knowledge, and academic excellence.

Offered through the Penn Language Center at University of Pennsylvania, the program is dedicated to teaching Quechua as a Foreign Language (QFL) through a communicative and culturally grounded approach. Students develop practical skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing while engaging with real-world communicative contexts.

Beyond language learning, the program opens pathways into the rich Andean-Amazonian cultural world, exploring the histories, traditions, worldviews, and symbolic systems of Quechua-speaking communities. Through courses, research initiatives, and cultural and academic activities, Quechua at Penn fosters a deeper understanding of one of the most important Indigenous languages and civilizations of the Americas.

Join us in celebrating and supporting Indigenous languages, cultures, and knowledge systems. Discover our courses, research, and community initiatives, and become part of a growing movement dedicated to linguistic and cultural revitalization.
