Though Quechua is considered an endangered language, it continues to exist - not only in Peru (and other Andean countries) but also in immigrant communities around the world, like in Seattle. Away from the homeland this language faces unique challenges as it competes with many more languages in the homes of Peruvians and Peruvian-descendants. Nevertheless its presence around the world might also help renew interest in the language.
