%X Studies attempting to understand the particularity of Peruvian Amazonian Spanish emphasize the widespread presence of Quechua loanwords as one of its most characteristic features. This is easy to confirm by checking the available regional dictionaries, for instance, Tovar (1966), Castonguay (1990) or Chirif (2017), where we find hundreds of entries with a Quechua etymology. This paper offers the first systematic study of the phonological, morphological and dialectal characteristics of the Quechua loanwords attested in Peruvian Amazonian Spanish. Although many of the features attested in the Quechua loanwords of Peruvian Amazonian Spanish are found throughout the whole Quechua language family, others do suggest a specific dialectal affiliation and are crucial for this study. One of the most significant discoveries of this paper is that the Quechua loanwords attested in Peruvian Andean Spanish reveal that they do not come from a single Quechua dialect, as has been traditionally assumed. Although the phonetic-phonological features point towards Amazonian Quechua, the morphological and lexical features described in this paper suggest a significant dialectal diversity that has not been previously proposed in the literature.
