Although Quechua is indeed the Incan language that spread through much of the Andean region as a result of the expansion of the Inca Empire, it has changed and evolved over time in the disparate Andean regions in which it is used. When discussing indigenous languages in Ecuador, especially in Northern areas like Pichincha, it is important to recognise that the people there call their language Kichwa, or Quichua, and that it is distinct from, although similar to, Quechua. There are also considerable regional differences in Kichwa, particularly between that spoken by the indigenous Kichwa groups of the Amazon region and those of the Andean region.
