Cultural Survival of the Aymara People

The native language of the Aymara People is Aymara but many of these people speak Spanish as their second language because that is what is most predominately spoken in their region. Only about 1,000 individuals still speak this language in the region where they reside. In addition, the Aymara people have had a history of dealing with invaders and even inflicting their own power on smaller groups. I believe as time goes on, the Aymara people will completely assimilate into the mainstream culture.
