Quechua Language
Quechua is a living language of the Andes of South America.  It also became the language of the Inkan civilization.  Please remember that spelling may not be consistent among references (i.e. aqha, aqa, aka, and akha).  In some spots, I have not been able to use the entilde and have used "ny" for the sound.
