Conila is said to be the last village where children are able to speak it. Lowland Peruvian Quechua is quite similar in pronunciation to Ecuadorian Kichwa. However, it has not been grammatically simplified (creolized?) to the same extent. For example, Lowland Peruvian maintains the inclusive/exclusive distinction for we.
