Runa ABC
Runa ABC is a way of writing and reading the language of the Quechua people who live in South America. It is very important because it means that people who speak Quechua can now write down what they want to say and read what others have written in their language. Before Runa ABC, Quechua was only spoken, and there was no way of writing it down.
Imagine if you had a secret code that only you and your friends knew. You could speak it to each other and understand what was being said, but if you tried to write it down, it would just look like a bunch of jumbled up letters and symbols to other people who didn't know the code. That's what Quechua was like before Runa ABC. But now, with this new way of writing, the code has been broken and Quechua is no longer a secret language.
Runa ABC uses the Roman alphabet (the same letters we use to write English) but with some added symbols to represent sounds that don't exist in English. For example, the letter "q" represents a sound that is made by putting the tongue on the roof of the mouth, which is not used in English. There are also some new symbols that have been added to represent different accents and sounds that are specific to the Quechua language.
Overall, Runa ABC is a big step forward for the Quechua people. It means they can now write down their thoughts, stories, and traditions in their own language and share them with others who speak the same language. It also means that their language and culture can be preserved for future generations to learn from and enjoy.
