The language of #soccer is full of phrases, metaphors and clichés that reflect modern life. But at 11,000 feet in the Peruvian Andes, the vocabulary changes. That is where Luis Soto, who hosts a daily sports program on Radio Inti Raymi, is narrating Peru’s first appearance at the @FIFAワールドカップ since 1982 in his native language, #Quechua. Before that, Luis had to clear a basic hurdle: finding a term for “soccer ball.” Quechua was developed by the ancient Incas. “The term didn’t exist,” Luis said, “so we had to adapt.” He settled on “qara q’ompo,” which means leather ball, or sphere. It’s one of about 500 terms and phrases he has compiled into what is probably the world’s only Quechua soccer dictionary. To prepare for the #WorldCup, Luis, 44, spent months practicing with videos of games to hone his speed and tone. He said his effort is part of a fight against shame and bigotry that has led some parents to stop teaching the language to their children. “When I started, everyone made fun of me,” he said. “They told me that I was not going to make money because Quechua people are poor and they won’t buy advertising. But I am not doing it for money. I do it so people can feel represented.” The photographer @barrios.altos took this photo of Luis, center, with his fellow announcer Percy Chile announcing a goal for @clubcienciano during a recent game. #⚽
