Ayacucho (also called Chanca or Chanka) is a dialect of the Southern Quechua language spoken in the Ayacucho region of Peru as well as by immigrants from Ayacucho in Lima. With roughly a million speakers it is the largest variety of Quechua after Cusco Quechua. The literary standard of Southern Quechua is based on these two closely related Quechua varieties.
