Having Indigenous languages at universities is a way to say: we are here, we have a value. This message goes to everyone, including the indigenous languages speakers whom for a long time were told that their languages shouldn’t exist. Language is linked to culture and knowledge. By building up language prestige – in this case with Quechua – we are also making a statement: This language has a value; therefore, their people do, too.
The former language of the Inca Empire and today with nearly 8 million speakers throughout the Andes, Quechua is the most spoken indigenous language in the Americas. Yet, it’s unrecognizable to most people, and even declared by UNESCO as an endangered language.


Therefore, '''Quechua courses at Penn''' work on developing '''language skills and cultural awareness''' on Indigenous Cultures.
The Quechua Language Program offers classes through the Penn Language Center and is the only Ivy League institution to do so in such a capacity. Our courses encompass Quechua language and Andean Culture topics. We invite you to learn more about our program, activities and research initiatives.
