Today many believe that
Quechua is a relic of the past confined to rural areas. It has nothing
to do with the modern, technological future which we face. Especially
the youth in the cities disparage their native tongue as an antiquity
with no place in modern life. They say that Quechua is an embarrassment
and useless in the city.
In order to change this perception, we set out to create
software in
Quechua. The very act of using software in Quechua is a political
statement that Quechua has cultural value and a future in modernity.
Help us create this
future!
