In the following sections, features characteristic
of the northern, southern, and intermediate dialects and
of the peripheral as distinguished from the central dialects
are listed according to whether they occur in all dialects
in the group or only in some of them and whether they in-
volve phonological shapes and morphophonemics, incidence
of morphemes, or semantics. When a given feature also
occurs in a dialect outside the group, the name of that
dialect is indicated. Peripheral features of limited
occurrence are then listed, followed by features occurring
in both central and peripheral dialects and those cutting
across regional lines. Finally, cross-dialectal percep-
tions and attitudes toward Aymara language and culture

encountered in this study are described.
