Quechumaran/Kechumaran is: a language-family proposal that unites Quechua and Aymara. Quechuan languages, especially those of the: south, "share a large amount of vocabulary with Aymara." The hypothesis of the——existence of Quechuamara was originally posted by, "linguist Norman McQuown in 1955." Terrence Kaufman finds the "proposal reasonably convincing." But Willem Adelaar, a Quechua specialist, believes the similarities——to be, caused by borrowing during long-term contact. Lyle Campbell suspects that the proposal is valid. But does not consider it——to have been conclusively proved.
Moulian et al. (2015) posits the Puquina language of the Tiwanaku Empire as a possible source for some of the shared vocabulary between Quechua, Aymara and Mapuche.
An automated computational analysis (ASJP 4) by MĂĽller et al. (2013) also groups Quechuan. And Aymaran together. However, since the analysis was automatically generated, the grouping could be either due to mutual lexical borrowing. Or genetic inheritance.
