The Mapuche language, Mapudungun (from mapu 'earth, land' and dungun 'speak, speech') is a language isolate spoken in south-central
Chile and west central Argentina by the Mapuche (from mapu 'earth' and che 'people') people. It is also spelled Mapuzugun
and sometimes called Mapudungu or Araucanian (Araucano). The latter was the name given to the Mapuche by the Spaniards but
nowadays both the Mapuche and others avoid this usage as the exonym is a remnant of Spanish colonialism, and has therefore
become an offensive term. The number of speakers differs depending on definition and research methodology. In the political
struggle between the ethnic minority and the Chilean and Argentinian governments the different groups support different research
results. Mapuche-written publications from 2008 supports research showing approximately 700,000 speakers. Other results report
approximately 240,000 speakers, with 200,000 in the Central Valley of Chile and 40,000 in several Argentine provinces, where
some 150,000 people use the language regularly. Mapuche lacks substantive protection or promotion, despite the Chilean government's
commitment to improve the situation and provide full access to education in Mapuche areas in southern Chile. There is an ongoing
political debate over which alphabet to use as the standard alphabet of written Mapudungun. |
