@duolingo has 2 *fictional* conlangs and a dead language but not Quechua/ Urin qichwa, the mostly prolific indigenous language in the Americas, with over 7 million speakers worldwide. Gaelic, for example, has less than 100,000 speakers. Several other European languages have less speakers than qichwa but have widespread acknowledgement and acceptance around the planet. In fact the only 'American' indigenous languages @duolingo offers are Navajo (solo para Ingles) and Guarani (solo para espanol). This is because, unbeknowst to all of their staff or not, Duolingo and similar pay-for language learning media are fundamentally rooted in and molded by settler-colonial capitalism, and even when they offer indigenous language courses, its just for colonizers, at a price, usually not even to speak with indigenous people. The synthetic guise of multiculturalism (solely for Europeans and the arbitrary non-white cultures deemed palatable) that the neocolonial world presents is a means of placating the settler proletariat and an effective tool of genocide. We live under an oligarchy generally disinterested, even wholly ignorant, of our ability to deconstruct injustice and wholly repulsed at the suggestion that we oppose it, oriented in entirety to maintain it. Photo ID: Screenshot from Duolingo app showing several language courses and their relevant flags including from top to bottom: Klingon (a fictional language made by a white man) High Valyrian (an unrelated fictional language made by an unrelated white man), Latin (a dead language), Gaelic and Finnish (both European languages with less speakers than Urin qichwa), followed by American English, French, and German for Arabic speakers.)

yawyu qichwa / yauyos quechua
rimana / verbs
*disclaimer: many of these verbs may be exactly the same in other quechua languages, but i am not trying to keep track of that. it would be too much work.
*a note: the TR sound and the CH sound are very close in spoken yawyu qichwa. the distinction is there to make that more noticeable.
[ a quechua branch made up of (once 8 north / south) now survived by 5 southern dialects: apurí-madeán-viñac (amv), azángaro-chocos-huangáscar (ach), cacra-hongos (ch), lincha-tana (lt), licsay-san pedro (sp).
🌄 enjoy!
