Ecuador was a Spanish colony during the XVI, XVII, XVIII and part of the XIX centuries. During that period, there was an influx of Spanish people that brought their language and culture. The same happened all over the Americas, with British in the North bringing English and the Portuguese bringing their language to Brazil. French brought their language to some places as well. In Ecuador and other countries, however, there was a strong resistance among the native population to reject their heritage. For this reason today a large number of Ecuadorians are bilingual. Most Ecuadorians speak Spanish and a large number speak Quechua.

In addition to Español (Spanish) and Quichua (Quechua) there are more than 10 other languages spoken in different areas of the Country. Some of those are:

  • Achuar-Shiwiar
  • Cha'palaachi
  • Cofán
  • Cuaiquer
  • Secoya
  • Shuar
  • Siona
  • Teteté
  • Tsachila or Tsafiki
  • Waorani
