qur

The 2017 census in Peru registered 13,080 persons in the 28 Quechua-speaking peasant communities in the districts of Daniel Alcides Carrión Province where the language is spoken.  The same census registered 4,842 Quechua speakers in those same districts.  Ethnologue may thus update its ethnic and speaker population figures for the language.

Editorial Action

We will update the L1 speaker population and the ethnic population for Chaupihuaranga Quechua [qur] in Peru, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
