INTIÑAHUI often called INTINAHUI, INTIÑAHU, ITINAHUI which is definately incorrect: Links: Sprache: Did Quechua Come from the Incas? The short answer: definitely, unquestionably, NO! A popular but totally erroneous myth. The Quechua in Bolivia and Northern Argentina does indeed come from the expansion of the Inca empire, yes. The Quechua in Ecuador probably not, the Quechua in central and northern Peru has nothing at all to do with the Incas, it predates them by many centuries, perhaps a thousand years. The areas were already speaking Quechua when the Incas arrived, as the Incas themselves noted. Certainly, a different variety of Quechua, but just as much Quechua as the form the Incas spoke. For more details on this and related issues, see my notes on the origins, history and regional variation in Quechua. http://www.raikas.net/yksi.html Gewidmet:
