'''Lima''' is the [[Caipital ceety|caipital]] an lairgest ceety o [[Peru]]. It is locatit in the valleys o the [[Chillón River|Chillón]], [[Rímac River|Rímac]] an [[Lurín River|Lurín]] rivers, on a desert coast owerleukin the Paceefic Ocean. Thegither wi the seaport o [[Callao]], it forms a contiguous urban aurie kent as the [[Lima Metropolitan Aurie]]. Wi a population fast approachin 9 million, Lima is the fift lairgest ceety in Latin Americae, efter [[Mexico Ceety]], [[São Paulo]], [[Buenos Aires]] an [[Rio de Janeiro]]. Lima haes been defined as a beta [[warld ceety]].

Lima wis foondit bi [[Spaingie fowk|Spaingie]] [[conquistador]] [[Francisco Pizarro]] on Januar 18, 1535, as La Ciudad de los Reyes, or "The Ceety o [[Biblical Magi|Keengs]]." It became the caipital an maist important ceety in the Spainyie [[Viceroyalty o Peru]]. Follaein the [[Peruvian War o Unthirldom]], it became the caipital o the Republic o Peru. The day, aroond ane-third o the Peruvian population lives in the [[Lima Metropolitan Aurie|metropolitan aurie]].

== Etymology ==
Accordin tae early Spaingie chronicles the Lima aurie wis ance cried ''Itchyma'', efter its oreeginal inhabitants. Housomeivver, even afore the Inca occupation o the aurie in the 15t century, a famous oracle in the Rímac valley haed come to be kent bi visitors as ''limaq'' ('''limaq''', pronoonced {{IPA-qu|ˈlimɑq|}}, which means "talker" in [[Quechua I|coastal Quechua]]). This oracle wis eventually destroyed bi the Spaingie an replacit wi a kirk, but the name persistit in the local leid, thus the chronicles shaw "Límac" replacin "Ychma" as the common name for the aurie.
