What is the situation of Quechua in Peru and Aymara in Bolivia? I know that they're seen as "poorfags language", but are the numbers of speakers decreasing? The only indigenous language in Americas that is the majority language of any country is Guarani (+ Greenlandic if you count Greenland as a country).

Unlike GuaranĂ­ they are not used in education desu and are pretty much only spoken languages. As more and more people get educated in Spanish they will die out. Identical situation to the Mayan languages in Central American countries. However now they are very much alive with millions of speakers as the language of the uneducated rural proletariat. In cities even poor people speak in Spanish though. Also the efforts to make Quechua and Aymara solidly established written languages and introduce them as school subjects is a complete meme and will not work out because of lack of any utility.

GuaranĂ­ is the only native american language who won't go extinct. It's widely spoken and the state recognizes the bilinguality. Unlike other american countries who threat their native languages as shit and pushes to its extinction.

They are trying tbqh. It just won't work out. The reason why GuaranĂ­ will survive is because it's the mother tongue of most people. On the other hand Quechua and Aymara are minority languages. The vernacular language of the minority is much more likely to die out than that of the majority. Look at how Chinese is still very much alive in Singapore simply because it is the mother tongue of the majority although the language of education and business is English and people are more likely to write things in English although they speak and think in Chinese.

I dont know any aymara speakers. But Bolivia's president is an aymara native, so i wouldn't be surprised if he propoaed laws to maintain the aymara culture and language. I know a lot of peruvian people, and most of them know some Quechua, but they dont speak it. Its the language of their parents or grandparents, mostly old people speak it.
Guarani, on the other hand, is alive and well, and not only spoken by natives. In paraguay even people with 100% Euro ancestry speak guarani, thats thanks to the Paraguayan governments policy on cultural integration in the late XIX/ early XX. Their president believed that their nation could not be united as long as they were separated culturally, so he prohibited non-race mixing marriages (whites could only marry amerindians and vicersa) and made guarani education mandatory.
Paraguay may not be the most developed country, but they are united under a single culture, and I honestly think paraguays way is the right way to solve the violence that multiculturalism spreads. Instead of killing the other to be a single culture, just fuck until you are a single culture.
