About Unified Inca Quechua
In an attempt to give themselves a truly "western" image, the nation of Inkasuyu created a unified official Quechuan language to administer their nation based on Cuzco Quechua and Ayacucho Quechua. This "westernized" language includes a five vowel system (as opposed to the standard three vowel system), a revamped, standard orthography, and increased distinction between morphemes.
