About Quechua

Kechwa Resource Center at the University of Kansas

This page has tons of sound files of vocabulary items and entire stories. There is a lot of information available here. The site is centered around a series of courses at the University of Kansas. It has 3 years of courses offered. That is one more year than I've seen at any other university.

FEDEPI.org

This site contains a nice dialect map of the Quichua spoken in Ecuador. The written content is in Quichua, Spanish and English. The completeness of the individual translations varies. FEDEPI is the Fundación Evangélica para el Desarrollo y Entrenamiento de Pastores Indígenas (Evangelical Foundation for the Development and Training of Indigenous Pastors).

Quechua at Stanford

A very brief overview of some features of Quechua syntax. The particular dialect is not noted but is probably Quechua IIC.

www.OtavalosOnline.com

This exciting site features a free Kichwa course for Spanish speakers and plenty of other information and links about Otavalo. Unfortunately, a lot of the content is in Flash, which shut me out. Maybe some one who isn't more concerned with bypassing ads than me could comment on this site further. There is also a link to an interactive Flash course in Kichwa. Cool.

Central Quechua on Unilang's Wiki

I wouldn't trust everything on Unilang about Quechua. There are not enough speakers native speakers on line to catch errors. One may find something of value. Someone has posted some information on Central Quechua on their wiki. I do not know which dialect Central Quechua is intended to describe but it is likely Quechua IIC.

Ecuadorian Quichua Lessons on the Unilang Forum

I'm not convinced that everything you'll find on the Unilang forum should be taken home with you but it is worth a shot. Some of the information on the forum was posted by someone who claimed to have done some Quichua fieldwork. There might be something for you on Unilang, another site that hopes to provide a community for language learners.

Quecha Text Book at Wikipedia Wikibooks

The beginning of a Quechua text book is at Wikibooks. It doesn't seem to have a whole lot of content yet but there may be something of value. The dialect is likely Quechua IIC.

Quechua Culture

A site with some questionable information on Quechua culture.

El sitio de Guaman Poma / The Guaman Poma Website

An online publication of Guaman Poma's famous work, complete with scans of the illustrations.

Quechua Network

A political and cultural site partially translated into French, English, Spanish and Quechua. The site contains links to news items on the main page and articles on various aspects of Quechua culture and politics. Some information on the language is also available, including an interactive flash video of Quechua pronunciation. The site itself is somewhat clunky and disorganized with the incomplete translations making navigation even more confusing, otherwise the site has some useful information.
