Luis Jerónimo De Oré
Fray Luis Jerónimo de Oré y Rojas (Huamanga, Perú, 1554 - Concepción, 1630) was a creole Franciscan priest who was born during the early years of the Viceroyalty of Peru. He was the son of the conquistador and encomendero Antonio de Oré Río and of Luisa Díaz Rojas, daughter of Pedro Díaz, ''encomendero'' of Azángaro. Early years The early life of Luis Jerónimo took place between that city and the town of Canaria, a workplace that his father founded, and where he came into contact with speakers of Quechua and Aymara. His years in the Andes overlapped with the Taki Unquy, which began in southern Huamanga, between 1565-1566, and with its eradication, which suggests that he lived in an environment of intense campaigns of evangelism and profound religious feeling throughout the region. His father settled in Huamanga, where he received an ''encomienda''. His four sons (Antonio, Luis Jerónimo, Pedro and Dionisio) entered into the Franciscan order. His five daughters were a ...

Huamanga, its name must be changed, in a way that perennially reminds those inhabitants the origin of their freedom."

Bishop
A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance of dioceses. The role or office of bishop is called episcopacy. Organizationally, several Christian denominations utilize ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the ministerial priesthood, given responsibility b ...

Mochica Language
Mochica (also Yunga, Yunca, Chimú, Muchic, Mochika, Muchik, Chimu) is an extinct language formerly spoken along the northwest coast of Peru and in an inland village. First documented in 1607, the language was widely spoken in the area during the 17th century and the early 18th century. By the late 19th century, the language was dying out and spoken only by a few people in the village of Etén, in Chiclayo. It died out as a spoken language around 1920, but certain words and phrases continued to be used until the 1960s. It is best known as the supposed language of the Moche culture, as well as the Chimú culture/Chimor. Classification Mochica is usually considered to be a language isolate, but has also been hypothesized as belonging to a wider Chimuan language family. Stark (1972) proposes a connection with Uru–Chipaya as part of a Maya–Yunga–Chipayan macrofamily hypothesis.

Puquina Language
Puquina (or Pukina) is a small, putative language family, often portrayed as a language isolate, which consists of the extinct Puquina language and Kallawaya, although it is assumed that the latter is just a remnant of the former mixed with Quechuan. The ''Qhapaq simi'', which was spoken by the Inca elite, in contrast to the Quechuan-speaking commoners, is thought to be related, as well as the Leco isolate language. They are spoken by several native ethnic groups in the region surrounding Lake Titicaca (Peru and Bolivia) and in the north of Chile. Puquina itself is often associated with the culture that built Tiwanaku. Background Remnants of the single, ancestral Puquina language can be found in the Quechuan and Spanish languages spoken in the south of Peru, mainly in Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna, as well as in Bolivia. There also seem to be remnants in the Kallawaya language, which may be a mixed language formed from Quechuan languages and Puquina. (Terrence Kaufman (1990) fin ...
