Quechua language is written in the Latin script. All Quechua dialects form words by sequentially adding suffixes to a root and follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. Unlike most Quechua dialects, which employ a standard three-vowel system, this dialect is typically written using five vowels.
