The word Longo is not in Kichwa "Longo" is a word of what remained of the Caneri language which, after the Inca conquest, was lost as they imposed the Quichua of the Inca empire.

Few terms of other language that were mixed with quichua have remained among the peoples present before the Inca and Spanish conquests, some are still pronounced and sometimes the meaning is not known. For this reason it has even been used as a pellorative term but in reality it is not. Rather it has been used in indigenous songs as part of the verses and coplas to the young woman and the young man. According to research Los Cañaris were present in what are now the Provinces of the Mountains such as: Cañar, Azuay, north of Loja, south of Chimborazo, and the province of El ORO on the coast of Ecuador.
