Quechua language

Quechua is an indigenous language of the Andes region in South America, primarily spoken in countries like Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and parts of Colombia and Argentina. It has a long history predating the Inca Empire and remains one of the most widely spoken indigenous languages in the Americas. Quechua features unique sounds and grammatical structures, often including suffixes to convey meaning. It plays a vital cultural role, preserving traditions and identity for many indigenous communities. Despite challenges from dominant languages like Spanish, Quechua continues to be actively spoken, taught, and celebrated as a key part of regional heritage.
