The Spanish of the Northern Peruvian Andes

This book analyses a set of rarely described regional Spanish varieties spoken throughout the northern Peruvian Andes, shedding new light on how the regional varieties of Spanish in America were shaped over time and proposing ways of delving into language history in postcolonial contexts, where native codes were overwritten by European languages.
