Linguistics professors spent nearly three years reconciling 22 dialects of the language -- many without a formal written form -- to compile a vocabulary fit for Microsoft's programs.

For "file," they chose "kipu" (KEE-poo), borrowing the name of an ancient Incan practice of recording information in an intricate system of knotted strings. "Internet" became "Llika" (LEE-ka), the Quechua word for spider web.

(About the khipu (or quipu) from the ancient Incan empire.) What a spectacular linguistic bridging of cultures!
