   The research work is included in the rank of modern relevant issues of such areas of modern relevant issues of modern linguistics as sociolinguistics, linguoculturology, cross-cultural communication, linguistics. The research examines the sociolinguistic specificity of the territorial variant of Spanish, formed during language contact interaction, functioning in the countries of the Andean region. As a result of the contact mutual influence of the Spanish language on the state of numerous local linguistic cultures of the Andean region, a unique territorial variant was formed and adapted to local realities, the key task of which was to unite the linguistic majority and minority language groups. Having an official status, the Spanish language, functioning on the territory of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia in different time periods, has had a significant impact on the economic, political, educational sphere of the countries of the Andean region. The key autochthonous languages of the Andean region - Quechua and Aymara - had a dominant influence on the phonetic, grammatical, lexical structure of the Spanish language functioning in the Andean region, activating transformational processes in all its subsystems in the language system. The most typical phonetic transformations of the Spanish language in the countries of the Andean region include changes in vowels and consonants under the influence of autochthonous languages; grammatical transformations caused by the influence of indigenous languages include: inconsistency with the Spanish language in Spain, the use of articles and morphological regularization. Lexical transformations prevail over phonetic and grammatical ones, the most productive ones include the use of highfrequency lexical units borrowed from the Quechua language.
