Kallawaya

This is the site for a project I took part in this summer in Bolivia:

http://livingtongues.org/kallawaya.html

They've updated the site so that now you can hear the spoken language among other things. The description is interesting and shows how Kallawaya is in some ways representative of many small indigenous languages in South America, and in some ways quite unique (in that it is both mixed and secret).
