Quechua I
Group of Quechuan languages of Peru / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quechua I, also known as Quechua Wáywash,[1] or Quechua B,[2] is one of the two branches or genealogical groups of the Quechua languages. It is composed of a great diversity of linguistic varieties distributed in the mountains of central Peru, in the departments of Ancash, Huánuco, Pasco, Junín and Lima. This Quechua I differs from the Quechua II by the use of long vowels and in several morphemes. According to the linguists Torero and Carranza, they are older than Quechua II.
