Cajamarca–Cañaris Quechua

Yunkay (after Yunka or Yungas, a low-lying level zone on both sides of the Andes and their residents ) or Quechua II a ( side branch of the Wampuy ) is the linguistic label ( according to Alfredo Torero ) for a group of variants of the Quechua language family with a small number of speakers in the north Peru and the Peruvian department of Lima ( Yauyos - Quechua ).

The dialects of Quechua have Yunkay - old Quechua sound booth including the retroflex [ ĉ ] largely preserved.

The Yunkay North Peru - Cajamarca Quechua and Inkawasi - Kanaris - has a number of phonetic peculiarities with the Chinchay ( Quechua II b) common: ll as in Argentina pronounced ( j in French Journal ), mp as [ mb ], nt like [ nd ] and nk as [ ng ]. The voiced plosives b, d, g but are not phonemic and are therefore - in line with other Quechua variants - in the modern Quechua spelling as p, t, k reproduced. The ch falls before n by assimilation in the debate with the ll together. Similarly as in the Peruvian Quechua - Chinchay anlautendes [h ] silenced. Also grammatically outweigh the similarities, such as in the plural form of the verb by adding- llapa or sapa.

Regarding vocabulary, there are also many similarities to the Quechua I ( Waywash ).
