Quechua refers to both a group of indigenous peoples and their language, predominantly found in the Andean regions of South America, particularly in countries like Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia. Historically, it was the lingua franca of the Inca Empire, which was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. Today, Quechua is recognized as an official language in several South American countries and continues to be spoken by millions of people, preserving a rich cultural heritage. The term can also refer to the diverse cultural practices, traditions, and agricultural knowledge of the Quechua communities.
