I'm wondering if there could be any sort of connection between the two
I lived in Bolivia a few years back and have some experience with learning Quechua of multiple varieties (Peruvian, Bolivian, Ecuadorian, etc.). since resources to learn the language (or online content in the language) can be confusing or difficult to find for learners, I'm creating a website that acts as a directory to every resource I can find online. I've made the project open source on GitHub and am looking for people to help me find resources for Quechua learners and add them to the website to make the list as comprehensive and useful as possible. You do not need any knowledge of the Quechua language to help contribute. You only need to be able to find websites, courses, audio, video etc. about the Quechua language and be able to add them into the HTML of the site.
All you need to contribute to the project is some basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. You can also contribute to the documentation on GitHub, by helping to translate the website into other languages, or in any other way you would like to. Since much of the work needing to be done involves finding resources and adding them to the website (writing in resource titles and providing links to where they can be found online), this project is great for someone new to web development or just starting out with contributing to open source.
Let me know if you'd be interested in joining the project. Tambien hablo espanol. Puede ayudar con el proyecto si no habla mucho ingles.
So I am very curious about the Quechua language. Is it a language that is commonly heard in Peru? Is it a language only spoken by the Indigenous people, or is it a language spoken by all different types of people. Have you ever seen a White speaker?

The head of CONTIOCAP (National Coordination in Defense of Native Indigenous and Protected Areas of Bolivia), Γlex Villca, warned that the 36 different indigenous nations within Bolivia do not get equal representation in government. Specifically all the nations in the lowlands, the Chaco region, the Bolivian amazon and the Chiquitania don't feel represented. Worse still there's a group that gets preferential treatment: those from the highlands, aka the Aymaras and the Quechuas.
[Full disclosure: these two groups are what I claim most of my heritage to, my username Ajayu means 'spirit' in the Aymara language.]
The feeling of isolation goes beyond not having a say in decision pertaining to government and the economy. Villca cites all the symbols of the brand new congressional building are from the highlands, while those from the lowlands have been excluded. Villa (rightfully I might add) questions the imposition of the Whipala flag as a national symbol. The flag also originates from the highlands and has long represented the Aymaras and the Quechuas. However this flag has no history in the lowlands or the indigenous people of these areas.

I am going to travel to Bolivia in January, and I really, really want to see someone that speaks Quechua, but I can't really find anywhere that speaks it, so do you guys know any place that I can go and see the language?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 42%. (I'm a bot)
> A doctoral student in Peru has made history by becoming the first person to write and defend a thesis in Quechua - the language of the Incas, which is still spoken by millions of people in the Andes.
> Scholars say it is the first time in the university's 468-year history that a student has written and defended a thesis entirely in the native language - even though it is the most widely spoken indigenous tongue in South America, used by about 8 million people, half of them in Peru.
> "Quechua doesn't lack the vocabulary for an academic language. Today many people mix the language with Spanish," she said.
> "I hope my example will help to revalue the language again and encourage young people, especially women, to follow my path. It's very important that we keep on rescuing our original language."
> Quispe Collantes's doctoral adviser Gonzalo Espino said her presentation was hugely symbolic because the language "Represented the most humble people in this part of the world: the Andeans, who were once called 'Indians'. Their language and culture has been vindicated."
> Peru has joined a global effort to register indigenous names as part of the United Nations International Year of Indigenous Languages, which is trying to help revive 2,680 at-risk indigenous languages around the world - 21 of which are native to Peru.

Ted Talks are basically presentations that individuals are given in our country on a variety of subjects. Are the things she is saying valid?
For example, I once went to Europa Park in Germany and my family instantly got spoken to in French by an employee and, as much as itβs not mindblowing since itβs near France, we were still surprised so we asked how he knew and he said it was because we had Quechua backpacks lol (Edit : This was +10 years ago, the brand wasnβt as internationally famous back then).
Seeing people kissing on the cheeks as greeting can also be a hint. Either French specifically or at least from somewhere in Southern Europe.
