| | Quechuistics:The language of the Inka |
 | | One of the biggest reasons why Quechua continues to be a spoken language today is because, “Quechua speakers continue to speak Quechua because it is a symbol of their local ethnicity” (Weber 14). | | | Most Quechua speakers do not deal with national issues on a daily basis, nor do they travel extensively to such a point where a national language would be necessary. | | | As Spanish speakers became more numerous in the region, Quechua began to be viewed as an inferior language that served no purpose except to determine who to discriminate against. |

| | Quechua language and culture were found in some cities of the Andean highlands, including the old Inca capital of Cuzco in Peru, as well as Cochabamba in Bolivia.
