I’ve made the necessary corrections to ensure accuracy and consistency in representing Quechua numbers. Please note that variations in pronunciation might exist across different Quechua dialects and regions.
Quechua is a family of indigenous languages spoken primarily in the Andes region of South America, particularly in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and parts of northern Argentina and Chile. Quechua numbers are an integral part of the language, used for counting, measuring, and expressing quantities. The Quechua numbering system is based on a decimal system, similar to many other numeral systems around the world.
