Question 9: What was the first language you learned to speak?

If the respondent says that the first language learned was "Other indigenous language," circle option 4 and write the answer on the "Specify" line.
Do not read out loud option 7, "Is deaf-mute." Circle this option only if the informant did not learn to speak a language because he/she is deaf-mute.

[p. 49]
Language. This refers to the language or dialect which the person first learned to speak, whether or not he/she currently speaks the language.
Example: Lucas was born in the mountains of Peru. As with his parents, the first language he learned to speak was Quechua. Many years ago he moved to Lima, where he learned to speak Spanish, which is the language he currently speaks. For this question, circle option 1: "Quechua".
