The 2017 census in Peru registered 4,821 Quechua speakers in Bolognesi province, Ancash.  This calls for an update of the current figure given by Ethnologue (10,000 speakers in 2000, including 4,000 monolinguals).

Editorial Action

We will update the L1 speaker population for Chiquián Quechua [qxa] in Peru, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
