Summary:	The present grammar had its origin in a missionary context. When the author (Leslie Hoggarth, 1909-2003) went out to Peru in 1932 with the Evangelical Union of South America (now Latin Link), he worked above all in the Departments of Cuzco and Puno, trying to get a deeper understanding of the people who spoke Quechua and their culture. It was "in the field" that Leslie Hoggarth started to make grammatical notes, which he began to edit and rework later, when he went back to Britain and took up teaching the Quechua language at the Centre for Latin American Linguistic Studies at St Andrews University (Scotland). As the contents of the study were meant to be "notes" for teaching, they were not structured in a grammatically systematic way, but rather according to didactic criteria. In order to make this study an easily manageable manual, it has been ordered according to modern formal grammatical categories, creating three main sections (the verbal system, the nominal system, and discourse suffixes and particles). The grammar finishes with a small sample of Quechua texts collected by the author; two of these texts are accompanied by audio files.
