Kichwa and Shuar are official in their areas
Ecuador's constitution makes Spanish the official language and Kichwa and Shuar official for intercultural relations, with the other ancestral languages official in the areas where they are spoken.
So a certificate in Kichwa attests a language with constitutional status rather than a minority tongue, and we describe it as one.
The intercultural bilingual system
Ecuador runs a bilingual intercultural education system with its own schools, curriculum and teacher certification, and a teaching qualification from it attests proficiency in an indigenous language as well as pedagogy.
So an Ecuadorian teaching credential may carry a language attestation a US reader would not look for. We name the system and the language.
Ecuadorian Kichwa is not Peruvian Quechua
Ecuadorian Kichwa differs substantially from Peruvian and Bolivian Quechua in phonology and grammar, and is written with a distinct orthography — Kichwa rather than Quechua.
The spelling on the certificate signals which. A US reader treating them as one language is treating substantially different varieties as interchangeable, and we name what the certificate states.
Spanish certification, and the cédula
Spanish for foreign learners is certified by Ecuadorian university language centres and by DELE and SIELE taken at centres in Ecuador, and Quito has a substantial Spanish immersion sector.
Certificates identify the candidate by cédula, ten digits with a province code and a check digit. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
