Quechuas is the term used for all speakers of the Quechua language, belonging to several ethnic groups in South America, above all in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, and Colombia.
The Quechuas of Ecuador call themselves - as well as their language Kichwa - Kichwas or Quichuas. The Kichwa-speaking group of Colombia are the Ingas.
Some (historic) Quechua peoples:
- Inca
- Chancas (in Huancavelica, Ayacucho y Apurímac)
- Huancas (in Junín; spoke Quechua before the Incas did)
- Cañaris (in Ecuador; adopted the Quechua language from the Incas)
