Microsoft is introducing Windows and Office software in the Andean tongue of Quechua.

"The translation of these technologies into Quechua helps to re-value the language so that it will not be lost over time," Javier Medrano, spokesman for Microsoft's Bolivia operations, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. For example, "file" becomes "quipu," borrowing the name of an ancient Incan practice of recording information in an intricate system of knotted strings.

Quechua is spoken today by approximately 13 million people in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and Colombia.
