Buenos Aires. 'Buenos' is a modernized form of 'boonyuous' which in quechua means fortress, and Aires comes from the Ayré-Ayré which means Amerindian, so the literal translation is Fortress of the Amerindian. The s at the end of both words is used in ancient Amerindian language as a form of superlative, so it means ''Great Fortress of the Amerindian (Buenos Aires)

Which proves, without no doubt, that Argentina has always been, currently is, and will alway be, 100% Amerindian.
