Wankas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Huancas or Wankas are a historic Quechua people living in what is presently the Junín region of Peru, in and around the Mantaro Valley. After fierce fighting, they were conquered by Pachacutec and incorporated into the Inca Empire. They helped the Spaniards during their conquest of Peru.

The language of the Wankas, Wanka Quechua, differs significantly from the Incas' Quechua of Cusco.
