Quechua Language & Quechua Translation

Information and resources on Quechua language & Quechua language translation. The Quechua are a South American Indian people who from earliest times have occupied the central Andean highlands of Peru and Bolivia. Like the Inca, who occupied the highlands from the 11th to the 15th century, they speak the Quechuan language, a branch of the Andean-Equatorial stock. They also show other remnants of an Inca heritage in their pre-Columbian style stone houses, panpipe music, a religion embodying pagan rites and costumes beneath a Roman Catholic surface, and a mythology rooted in an obscure past. Together with the Aymara, the Quechua constitute most of the rural population of highland Peru. Below are links that provide information about the Quechua language.
