Aymara, pronounced and (at least in Spanish) written with an accent on 
the final a, is anything but obscure as South American languages go.  
It's spoken by millions more or less in the area between Quechua (the 
future language of the whole world) and Guarani, also w/ stress on ultima.

Amyara, on the other hand, if it exists, is obscure.

Why this would be more sci.archaeology than sci.lang is beyond me.  It's 
a living language, and wasn't written in prepizarrian times...
