Question 5.- What language do you speak?

[There is a picture of question 5 from this section of the enumeration form.]

The political constitution of Ecuador, in article 1, expresses the following: Ecuador is a social democracy, sovereign, unitary, independent, democratic, pluri-cultural, and multi-ethnic; furthermore, it indicates that Spanish is the official language; Quichua, Shuar, and the other ancestral languages are for official use by indigenous peoples, in the terms that the law establishes.

Among the ancestral languages that are used in the indigenous nations and peoples are: Cha'palaa, Awapit, Achuar, A'inagae, Wayapi, Siapede, Kichwa, Shuar Chichan, Baicoca, Tsa'fiqui, Huao Terero, Paicoca, Záparo.

Read each one of the response alternatives verbatim and mark the answer given by the informant with an x.

If the answer is only Spanish, mark box 1.

If the response is only native language, mark box 2; if the informant indicates that they speak Spanish and the native language, mark box 4.

[p. 40]

For the answer options 2 (only native language) and 4 (Spanish and native language), find out what the native language is and record it in the appropriate space. Example: Cha'palaa, Awapit, Achuar, A'inagae, Wayapi, Siapede, Kichwa, Shuar Chichan, Baicoca, Tsa'fiqui, Huao Terero, Paicoca, Záparo.
