The High Academy of the Quechua Language (Spanish: Academia Mayor de la Lengua Quechua; Quechua: Qhichwa Simi Hamut'ana Kuraq Suntur) or AMLQ is a Peruvian organization dedicated to the research, promotion, and dissemination of the Quechua language.

History[]

In 1954 Faustino Espinoza Navarro[es], working with other Quechua-speaking artists, founded the Academia de la Lengua Quechua (Academy of the Quechua Language). The Academy argued that Qhapaq Simi, translated as Cusco Quechua or "Imperial Quechua," was the purest form of Quechua and should be taught in Quechua language schools; they rejected the Runa Simi that was spoken in everyday life. On December 10, 1958, the government of Manuel Prado Ugarteche officially recognized the organization, under the name Academia Peruana de la Lengua Quechua (Peruvian Academy of the Quechua Language).^[1]

On May 27, 1975, the government of Juan Velasco Alvarado made Quechua an official language of Peru.^[2] The law establishing its official status prescribed the five-vowel system; in 1983, professional Quechua and Aymara experts from all over Peru decided to implement an orthography with just three vowels: a, i, and u. This decision was controversial, with factions of linguists both supporting it and opposing it.^[3] The Academy did not approve of the shift, and continues to use the five-vowel system.^[4]

In 1990, Law Number 25260 established a Quechua language academy in Cusco.^[5] Although the law did not mention the name "High Academy of the Quecha Language," the law marked the beginning of the AMLQ's transition to its modern form, culminating in the creation of its guiding statutes in 2009.^[6][7]

Criticism[]

The AMLQ is often criticized for its tendency towards linguistic purism.^[8]
