Quechua (Runa Simi) is a family of related Native American languages in South America, with approximately 46 dialects, grouped in at least seven languages.

Some variety was already widely spoken across the Central Andes as a lingua franca among curacas long before the time of the Incas, who established it as the official language of administration for their Empire. Quechuan languages are still spoken today in various regional forms (the so-called ‘dialects’) by some 10 million people (known as the Quechua) through much of South America, including most extensively and numerously in Peru >>>

These are a few Quechua expressions: allillanchu ("ah-yee-YAN-choo")—how are you?; allinmi ("ah-YEEN-me")—I'm fine; maymantam ("my-MON-tom")—where are you from?; imatam sutiyki ("ee-MAH-tom soo-TEE-kee")—what is your name? The English word "jerky" comes from the Quechua word for dried meat, charki, and the Spanish coca plant, which is the source of cocaine, gets its name from the Quechua word kuka.
