 The production of a standardized version of Kichwa (Unified Kichwa or "Kichwa unificado" in Spanish) has been an essential component and one of the most important achievements of the IBE program directed by DINEIIB in Ecuador.Kichwa is the indigenous language with the largest number of speakers in Ecuador and has several regional dialects in the Andean highlands and the Amazonian Lowlands of the country.The phonological features of many dialects were simplified and unified under the standardized version of the language, which contained several neologisms that replaced loanwords from Spanish.
