There's a new documentary following Fernando Valencia who is known for dubbing several Disney films in Quechua. Half of the world's 7,000 languages could be lost by the end of the century. Experts estimate that a language is lost every two weeks. Quechua is the most widely spoken Indigenous language across the Americas. Quechua is the second official language of Peru with approximately 7-10 million speakers primarily in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador but as with so many Indigenous languages Quechua is still vulnerable due to the broader cultural pressures and discrimination. Below is a link to an interview/piece on "Runa Simi" the name of the documentary
