Quechuas is the term used for several ethnic groups in¨South America that use a Quechua language (Southern Quechua mainly), belonging to several ethnic groups in South America, above all in Peru, Bolivia and Argentina.
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)
