Mapudungun
The Mapuche are an indigenous people
who live in southern Chile and Argentina . The 1992
Chilean census indicates that there are 928,500 Mapuche
living in Chile, plus numerous others in Argentina, but
the language is spoken by all of them. The name Mapuche
is composed of two words: "mapu", which means "land", and
"che", which means people. Their language is called
"Mapudungun", and is composed of "mapu" and "dungun",
which means "talk", or "speech". Our list only has names
from Chile that are ethimologically of Mapudungun
origin.
