This study presents an acoustic analysis of the retroflex affricate consonant [t?] of the MoyaPeru Quechua, in which, through acoustic studies, the aim is to analyze the formants frequencies (FFT), the cepstrum, duration and rise time; in the vowels nearby these affricate consonants, we intend to analyze the formants (F1 and F2) and duration. Also, by the same acoustic studies, it is sought to demonstrate and determine the presence of retroflex affricate consonant status in different phonetic environments ($ _ and _ $). Eight bilingual informants (Quechua-Castilian) with mastery of their Quechua mother tongue participated in the research. The corpus was obtained by means of recordings: first, the recording of carrier phrases containing pairs of words from images whose graphic representations have a retroflex and a non-retroflex affricate consonant with each informant - each minimal pair (eight words) was mentioned three times. Then, images were presented to the interviewee, containing, however, words carrying only the voiceless retroflex sound [t?] in different phonetic environments to be analyzed, asking the participants to recognize and speak the carrier phrase five times, repeating the name of the displayed image. Moreover, the data were submitted to statistical analysis through the R-Studio program, through which the analysis of variance was performed to verify the p-value (probability value). As results, it was observed that the retroflex affricate consonant [t?] presents a lower measure of the formants frequencies, in duration and in rise time than in the nonretroflex consonant. Likewise, the vowel nearby the retroflex consonant presents a smaller measure than the one beside the non-retroflex consonant. In addition, in different phonetic environments, the retroflex affricate consonant, by influence of the nearby vowel, presents a distinct measure of the formants frequencies, duration and rise time. For example, this same retroflex consonant presents a higher measure of duration and rise time at the end of syllable. According to the results, Moya is considered a dialectal transition zone between the Wanka Quechua and the Chanka Quechua because it presents linguistic evidences that explain the presence of this consonant in the phonetic-phonological system of the Quechua variety of that district (Chanka Quechua) and shows that it is not a loan from the Wanka Quechua, but from a consonant that has been preserved from the Proto-Quechua (mother tongue) in the speech of the inhabitants of Moya, unlike the neighboring communities, in which this retroflex affricate has been suppressed. The results found in this district may contribute to future research, since no acoustic analysis investigations have yet been performed. Therefore, the research will contribute to the knowledge of the language and culture of the Moya-Peru Quechua community.
