| rowspan="3" style="text-align:center;" | q

| rowspan="3" |qullqi, ñuqa, waqra, kamayuqIn Ancash Quechua, /q/ is pronounced as [q] in all positions for the Callejón de Huaylas variety, and sometimes it gets spirantised [χ] at the end of the syllable. In most other places, it is realised as [ʁ], keeping its spirantisation process in syllable-final position. The Corongo variety also realises it as [χ] syllable-initially.The way /q/ is realised depends on the variety of Wanka Quechua one speaks. Jauja Quechua usually pronounces it as [x ~ h], except after fricatives, where it normally disappears. In the rest of varieties—such as those of Concepción and Huancayo—/q/ is normally realised as zero [∅] at the beginnings of words, and [ʔ] mostly everywhere else, except at the end of syllables, where it turns into compensatory lengthening [(V)ː] of the previous vowel.

|llumtsuy, luychuIn Ancash Quechua, the monophthongisation of /uj/ into [iː] is very restricted, and only occurs when the segment /y/ belongs to a different morpheme (e.g. -y, -yki, -yku, -ykaa) and is not present in all sub-varieties, such as the Northern Huaylas one. Julca Guerrero (2010) has only found it in two lexemes, the ones presented as examples in this table.
