The family of Quechua languages crosses borders in South America. Quechua language varieties are spoken in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru by millions. It has been studied from multiple perspectives. From a linguistic perspective, its study has enriched the comprehension of fields like semantics, syntax, morphology and phonology. As a shared keystone of the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples in South America, the Quechua family of languages is associated with a continuum of cultural practices and knowledge that has enriched our knowledge of human societies. As in the case of many minority languages, current advances in technology have opened the door to generate new ways of maintaining the vitality of this language family through shared practices in research and education. Shared databases, collaborative research by means of video-conferencing and on-line tools for education are potential ways in which language revitalization and maintenance can take place. The workshop intends to further explore all these threads in a forum in which community-based researchers and scholars can share perspectives and explore new opportunities provided by technological advances to support the maintenance and development of the Quechua languages and the Quechua-speaking communities.
