Publisher's Synopsis

Cuentos y Tradiciones de Pijal es una recopilacion de narraciones de la comunidad de Pijal, Ecuador. Este libro es el primer manuscrito publicado en media lengua, un idioma mixto hablado en la sierra Ecuatoriana. Lo que hace a la media lengua tan unica es su genesis. La media lengua tiene una ascendencia dividida donde casi todas (90%) las raices (sustantivos, verbos, adjetivos, adverbios, pronombres, demostrativos, etc.) del espanol han sustituido a sus contrapartes del kichwa, mientras que la media lengua mantiene los morfemas, la gramatica y la pronunciacion del kichwa. Se incorporaron traducciones en espanol e ingles. Stories and traditions from Pijal is a collection of narrations from the community of Pijal, Ecuador. This is the first published document in Media Lengua, a rare mixed language spoken in the Ecuadorian highlands. What makes this language so unique is its genesis. ML has a split ancestry where nearly all (90%) root words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, demonstratives etc.) from Spanish have replaced their Quichua counterparts while maintaining Quichua morphemes, grammar and pronunciation. Translations in English and Spanish are provided.
