What the heck is Kichwa?  It, along with Espaņol, is a language option
at http://www.rafaelcorrea.com/.  I consider myself educated and
well-read, but I have never heard of such a tongue.

(I've decided to be lazy in the final hours of GA.)

Hi! Thanks for your generosity in the waning hours of Google Answers.

Here is something about Kichwa.

"Quechua (Runa Simi; Kichwa in Ecuador) is a Native American language
of South America. It was the language of the Inca Empire, and is today
spoken in various dialects by some 10 million people throughout South
America, including Peru and Bolivia, southern Colombia and Ecuador,
north-western Argentina and northern Chile. It is the most widely
spoken of all American Indian languages."

"Northern Quechua (also known as Runashimi or, especially in Ecuador,
Kichwa) is mainly spoken in Colombia and Ecuador;"
