The modern world began with the clash of civilisations between Spaniards and native Americans. yet the Andes still host the New World's greatest linguistic survivor, Quechua. It ranges from Inca collapse to the impacts of colonial rule, reform, independence, and the modern-day trends that so threaten native language here with its ultimate demise.
