Aymara is an Amerind language with about 2.2 million speakers in Bolivia, Peru, Argentina and Chile, particular around Lake Titicaca on the high plateaus of the Andes. 

Under the influence of the Spanish, the Latin alphabet was adopted to write Aymara. Many different spelling systems have been proposed over the years. In May 9th 1984 and November 18th 1985, the Bolivian and Peruvian goverments respectively introduced a new spelling system known as the Aymara Official Alphabet or Unified Alphabet.
