Willem F. H. Adelaar's The Languages of the Andes, written with Pieter C. Muysken and published by Cambridge University Press in 2004, is a comprehensive peer reviewed linguistic survey of the Andean language families. Its authority rests on standard university press review and Adelaar's standing as a leading specialist in Andean and South American linguistics. It is a linguistic survey rather than a study of Andean religious belief, so a claim about ritual or mythological content associated with an Andean language needs a separate ethnographic or religious studies source.
