    BILINGUAL TRANSLATION OF NATIVE LANGUAGES

    The translation of native languages such as Quechua is a hard task


    that not only involves an effort of documentation but also of
    understanding the worldview present in the translation process.

    Peru not only has a great biodiversity that makes us unique in the
    world, but also a great linguistic and cultural richness, which is
    reflected in the 47 native languages that are spoken in our regions by
    millions of Peruvians.

    The original languages that have official alphabets are Quechua,


    Matsigenka, Harakbut, Ese Eja, Shipibo, Ashaninka, Aymara, Yine,
    Kakataibo, Kandozi-Chapra, Awajún, Jaqaru, Shawi, Yanesha,
    Nomatsigenga, cashinahua, wampis, sharanahua, secoya, achuar,
    murui-muinani, kakinte, matsés, ikitu, shiwilu, madija, kukama
    kukamiria, maijiki, bora, yagua, kapanawa, urarina, amahuaca,
    yaminahua, ocaina, nanti, arabela and ticuna.

    These languages will soon be joined by others whose alphabets are in


    the process of being standardized by the Ministry of Education, such
    as Nahua and Nanti, and other languages that are in the process of
    being diagnosed: Iconahua, Muniche, Iñapari, Taushiro, Chamicuro,
    Resígaro and Omagua.

    Languages and cultural identity

    Each of these languages is part of the identity of the people and


    groups that speak them. Therefore, the recognition of this diversity and
    the official character of these languages also allows the preservation of
    what is implicit in them, the past of the speaking groups, their stories,
    traditions, their songs, in short, the cultural richness of Peru.

    In this sense, for more than a decade the Ministry of Culture has
    dedicated an important part of its work, on the basis of various policies,
    to recovering and formalising the original languages, in a joint process
    with the Ministry of Education. This is then applied by encouraging
    people from the different native peoples of Peru to be served in their
    own language by State entities and also to acquire knowledge of their
    culture.
    This in itself is an intercultural approach that allows the Peruvian State
    to improve its communication with the citizens, with the speakers of
    these languages by training public servants to serve this population
    efficiently.
