updated 1-4-2001 Quechua (Andean Equatorial), also spelled Kechua and Quichua, belongs to the Aymara-Quechua branch of the Andean Equatorial family of languages. Quechua was the language of the Incas and is still spoken today in Peru and neighboring countries. In fact, in Peru there are almost as many speakers of Quechua as of Spanish. Indeed, like Navajo, Quechua is one of the few American Indian languages which is increasing in number of speakers. There are a number of dialects. The Incas did not develop an alphabet, but instead kept records by means of a "quipu" (Quechua for "knot"), an arrangement of variously-colored cords knotted in different ways. These quipus were reminders of the oral-tradition literature. Quechua has been written with the Latin alphabet since the Spanish Conquest, but still today spelling is not standardized. Media Lengua is a creole mixing Spanish and Quechua. 898 Arguedas, Jose Maria A694t Tupac Amaru kamaq taytanchisman. -- Lima : RID: 63-50480 ITEM #: que00003 447.9784 Bakker, Peter B1689L A language of our own. -- [S.l.] : Oxford University Press, 1997 RID: 97-7301 ITEM #: spa00793 Q Bills, Garland D 498 An introductin to spoken ...
