We present the results of a project of building a lexical-functional grammar of Aymara, an Amerindian language. There was almost no research on Aymara in computational linguistics to date. The goal of the project is twofold: First, we want to provide a formal description of the language. Second, NLP resources (lexicon and grammar) are being developed that could be used in machine translation and other NLP tasks. The paper presents formal description of selected properties of Aymara which are uncommon in well-researched Western languages. Furthermore, we present an abstract linguistic representation in the LFG framework which is less language specific than f-structures.
