 Sounds of the Andean Languages – More Details About Quechua   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Because the Quechua from different regions is so different, many speakers tend to ‘prefer’ the Quechua of one region to that of another.
So any Quechua-speaker from any region who tries to claim that his or her variety of Quechua is the only ‘right’ or ‘proper’ variety is simply wrong, on two counts.
So, the reason why we chose nine regions from Peru, but only two from Ecuador and three from Bolivia, is nothing to do with a preference for any one country.
