Cajamarcaā€“CaƱaris Quechua (locally called Kichwa or Runashimi, like other Quechua varieties) is a branch of Quechua spoken in northern Peru, consisting primarily of Cajamarca Quechua (Kashamarka, also known as Linwa), and Lambayeque Quechua (also known as FerreƱafe, Inkawasi-KaƱaris Quechua), near the towns of Cajamarca and CaƱaris in the Cajamarca and Lambayeque regions. Cajamarca and Lambayeque Quechua have 94% lexical similarity [1] and are mutually intelligible. Adelaar (2004) includes the dialect of Lincha District, far to the south on the border of the Lima and Huancavelica regions.

Cajamarcaā€“CaƱaris Quechua is divergent from other varieties; although traditionally classified as a member of Quechua II-A, [2] some (Adelaar) believe it to be a primary branch of Quechua II, and others (Landerman, Taylor, Heggarty) analyze it as not straightforwardly classifiable within the traditional QI vs. QII schema at all, and thus potentially a primary branch of its own. FĆ©lix Quesada published the first grammar and dictionary in 1976.

According to the UNESCO World Atlas of Languages in Danger, Cajamarca Quechua is severely endangered. [3]
