Central Quechua's Ap-am-ah confusion

qvm

Ethnologue has it all wrong in the Ap-am-ah subgroup of Central Quechua.  You only have to look at the map of Peru to see how the subgroup should be presented:

Ap = Alto Pativilca should include Chiquián [qxa] and Cajatambo North Lima [qvl]

am = Alto Marañón should include Margos-Yarovilca-Lauricocha [qvm] and Huamalíes-Dos de Mayo Huanuco [qvh]

ah = Alto Huallaga should include Ambo-Pasco [qva], Huallaga [qub], and Panao [qxh]

Editorial Action

We will re-classify the languages in the Ethnologue within the Ap-am-ah subgrouping of Central Quechua, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.

Dear Aleksandr,

Thank you for this information on the Ap-am-ah subgroup of Central Quechua classification.

We will take a look at this and make necessary changes.
