With this study, the aim is to investigate the attitudes towards the quechua language among young Peruvian people. This study has been conducted with 30 young informants in the capital region of Lima. The informants are primarily university students and young workers between the ages 20-35.The study is divided into two parts, the first one contains five general questions to establish the gender, age, place of birth, native tongue and if some of the informants have quechua speaking relatives. In the second part, the informants give their opinion in a questionnaire containing 10 positive and 10 negative items about linguistic attitudes towards the quechua speaking community. At the end of the questionnaire, there is also an additional question where the respondents were free to comment in their own words.The results of the survey show that in most cases, the 30 respondents have a positive attitude towards quechua. In the aspect of integration in the education and work environments, they consider it of cultural importance for the country, contradicting the general perception that associates quechua with poverty and ignorance.
