Puquina language

Encyclopedia : P : PU : PUQ : Puquina language

Puquina is an extinct language and language isolate, which was spoken by the ancient Inca in the region surrounding Lake Titicaca and in the north of what is now Chile.

Remnants of Puquina can be found in the Callahuaya language, which is thought to be a combination of Quechua and Puquina. Sometimes the term Puquina is used for Uru, which is completely different.
