Linguistic Matls IN the language of study

[Hannah Soreng]

I have a Quichua/Spanish dictionary which is primarily writeni n Quichua.  The
cretids, the grammatical descriptions, the language examples, the explanations
of precise meaning, etc are in Quichua.  There are just a few bare words of
Spanish.  Quechua has a much larger base of speakers, but it's still pretty
unusual.

The book is called :
Caimi ?ucanchic -- Shimiyuc-panca
1982.
Ministerio de Educaci?n y Cultura, Pontifica Universidad Cat?lica del Ecuador
ILL-CIEI

There are more than a dozen people listed as, roughly, "knowers", 
"writers", and
"drawers".

Hope that's useful.
