Huanca

The Huancas, Wancas, or Wankas are a Quechua people living in the Junín Region of central Peru, in and around the Mantaro Valley.

[2] They gave their name to the Peruvian football team Deportivo Wanka.

After fierce fighting, the Huanca people were conquered by Pachacuti in the 15th century and incorporated into Tawantinsuyu, the Inca Empire.

The Huanca helped the Spaniards during the conquest of Peru.

[1][2] These languages differ significantly from the Incas' Quechua of Cusco.
