Huallaga-Quechua ( Quechua Wallaqa Runashimi ) is a variant of the central branch of the Quechua language family (Quechua I or Waywash after Alfredo Torero ) within the subgroup of Huánuco-Quechua , which is spoken in the Peruvian Huánuco department along the Huallaga River .

Despite the relatively low number of speakers of 40,000 (according to the Ethnologue from SIL International ), there should still be a high proportion of monolinguals.

The linguist and Wycliff Bible translator David Weber from SIL International has his own dictionary (Quechua-Spanish-English) in 1998 - after he had published his grammar in 1989 (but not the Spanish version in 1996) in normalized orthography - in Spanish developed spelling that deviates completely from the general official Quechua alphabet. Under his leadership, in collaboration with the Christian association JAWCA in Huánuco and with SIL, the Bible was translated into Huallaga Quechua in this spelling and published in August 2011. Thus, the relatively small Huallaga Quechua is the first Waywash dialect in which the complete Bible was published.

For a long time there were only Spanish-language classes in Huánuco. On the basis of the language law drafted by María Sumire and passed in 2011 (Ley 29735) , a process for the introduction of intercultural bilingual education with Huallaga-Quechua or the neighboring dialects of Waywash- Quechua in public schools has now been initiated for which the Standard alphabet with k , q and doubled vowel marks applies. Intercultural bilingual education with Quechua as mother tongue is planned at 717 schools in the Huánuco region.

Characteristic of the Huallaga-Quechua within Quechua I is the loss of the distinction between / č / ([ tʃ ]) and / ĉ /. In grammar it partly shares properties with the Wanka Quechua , partly also with the Ancash Quechua .
