Abstract

This article provides a comparative treatment of the various manners early grammarians and other early authors employed to represent one particular sound, the velar nasal, in languages of the Central Andean region (Quechua, Aymara, Mochica, Mapudungun, Huarpe). This not only allows to unravel and distinguish different orthographic traditions, but crucially proves to be of high methodological value in interpreting existing material of very poorly documented languages of this region such as the Tallán languages of Northern Peru.
