Quechua is famous for being the language of the Inca Empire of Peru. In truth, however, there is no single Quechua language--instead there is what linguists
called a dialect chain across most of Western South America, in which speakers of one Quechua language can understand the languages spoken by their
immediate neighbors, but not a language further from them. So, for example, a speaker of South Bolivian Quechua may understand North Bolivian Quechua,
but not any of the Quechua varieties spoken in Peru; the North Bolivian Quechua speaker would not be able to understand Argentinian Quechua,
and neither of them could understand Ecuadorian Quichua. There are as many as forty such Quechuan languages spoken natively by a combined seven million
Indian people in South America.
