Cusco Quechua (Template:Lang-qu) is a dialect of Southern Quechua spoken in Cusco and the Cusco Region of Peru.
It is the Quechua variety used by the Academia Mayor de la Lengua Quechua in Cusco, which also prefers the Spanish-based five-vowel alphabet.[2] On the other hand, the official alphabet used by the ministry of education has only three vowels.[3]
