I saw this on another list.

Demetrio Tupac Yupanqui (translator). 2005. Yachay sapa wiraqucha dun Quixote Manachamantan / Miguel de Servantes Saavedra Qilqan: Lima, Peru: El Comercio: 379 pp.: color. illustrations; 35 cm.

Cervantes' Don Quixote is considered one of the earliest and finest European novels. Quechua was the language of the Incan Empire and is still spoken in Ecuador and Peru.

I can't believe you know Quechua, too! Sometimes spelled Chechua?

I know one word "ChiBOLA" (phonetic) which is a child's word for a "boo boo" or cut. My grandchildren picked up the term when they visited their other grandparents in Ecuador (who are not indigenous peoople.) It has entered our family lexicon.

Miss Ann, I only know that Quechua is a language, and that it's spoken in Ecuador and Peru. About the only Quechua I've heard was that that was modified and used as Huttese in the Star Wars movies.

By the way, did anyone else recognize which language(s) Borat and his manager were speaking in the movie?

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I understand that Ken Davitian (who plays Azamat Bagatov) speaks Armenian with Cohen (Borat).
