Ethnic groups

The district straddles the Quechua and Aymara linguistic boundary with Aymara-speaking Huancane to the south and Quechua-speaking Putina to the north. Huatasani itself is predominantly Quechua speaking but contains both Quechua- and Aymara-speaking communities. Quechua is the language which 53.87% of the population learnt to speak in childhood, 28.84% of the residents started speaking using Aymara and 17.20% learnt Spanish as the first language (2007 Peru Census).[2]

gollark: AlexDevs, this is discrimination against gollarks!
gollark: PotatOS Chronometer runs every tick so that it can display a nice live-updating milliseconds counter, but it doesn't do much on each tick so I figure it's probably okayish.
gollark: Yield for a reasonable amount of time in loops.
gollark: Yes, I know, it does `coroutine.yield` and all, but IIRC it runs more than once per tick.
gollark: I thought you could with queue/pullevent.
