Removed the pseudo-linguistic pap about Aymara's conception of time, being neither psychologically nor linguistically valid, and on the same level as saying that all languages are descended from (modern) Basque.

---

I removed a lot of material that was relevant to the language not the people (or so I think). I also made the link to the language page clearer - It took me some time to discover there was actually also a seperate page on the language, and I suspect that's why other peopel added some stuff here that should have been on the other page. The history has been cut up a bit, and I changed the stats from "language speakers" to "aymara people", tho I'm not sure how valid that is ... it could take some reworking by someone who actually knows about that stuff ^-^ (I also deleted some outdated discussion) Flammifer 04:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The stats are not in line with the stats from Bolivia, which says there are 2m Aymara in Bolivia alone. DanKeshet 22:59, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

I think the stats up are for Aymara language speakers (leftover from when the page was about both), but apparently some ethnic Aymara don't speak Aymara language. DanKeshet June 28, 2005 22:05 (UTC)

I think this page needs to have a disambiguation page. I almost didn't find the page on the language, much like a previous poster mentioned. --Alcarilinque 28 June 2005 13:36 (UTC)

There's a template for that sort of thing, surely, right? DanKeshet June 28, 2005 22:05 (UTC)

Contents 1 Huh? 2 References 3 Name of article 4 "related groups" info removed from infobox

[edit] Huh?

Why does the 1st paragraph of this article say that they have a population of 2.3 million but the infobox says they number 1.6 million? Which one is right? --Hottentot 01:51, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure. I think I wrote the 2.3 based on an online source. But I suspect there are conflicting, and no authoritative, figures. --Stbalbach 03:55, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

i removed the catholic missionary link. it has NOTHING to do with the aymara.

[edit] References

I'm adding a reference tag because although this page seems to have a lot of good info on it, no one has said where they've gotten the info, although it is apparent from this discussion that people are getting the info from somewhere . . . These pages might help: Wikipedia:References or Wikipedia:Footnotes Thanks! --MPW 22:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name of article

The name of the article, "Aymara ethnic group", seems kind of redundant. Wouldn't "Aymara people" or just plain "Aymara" be sufficient? --ざくら木 11:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "related groups" info removed from infobox

For dedicated editors of this page: The "Related Groups" info was removed from all {{Infobox Ethnic group}} infoboxes. Comments may be left here. Ling.Nut 23:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

A long time ago, under the reign of Xiclitchli, the Aymaras lived in peace at Tihuanaco, until the day the fair haired man appeared. He wore a metal mask, and controlled the fire of the gods: the Solar disc. He overthrew the king of the Aymaras, and became the God of Gods, Nyarlatothepec, the Rampant Chaos --217.127.191.232 (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
