Map Description:
Español: Mapa de los subgrupos dialectales del Quechua.
English: This map shows the dialectal sub-groups of Quechua.
It is estimated that, including all dialects, there are about 10 million Quechua speakers - this number is contested, however, due to underreporting and migration. The largest known concentration is in Peru where the 1993 census estimated their speaker population to be around 3.2 million.

Date Digitized: July 2010
Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Kechumáran languages were spoken when they were first encountered and knowledge of them was recorded. As specified in Asher and Moseley, the time of contact varied for each language; most of the coastal languages were first identified during the 16th and 17th centuries, although some languages in the interior of South America became known much more recently during the 20th century (Kaufman 2007).
