Talk:Mapuche language

message: I removed the section because the link to the news report does not work.  If anyone can provide a working link, I think this section should be reinstated and perhaps even expanded to provide more details.--JAXHERE | Talk 17:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because you couldn't access the source at one particular moment doesn't mean the info was unsourced. Your merry deletion of sourced material was completely unwarranted and might even qualify as vandalism. Moreover, the source (a Reuters news piece, as the link makes clear) is easily recoverable through a simple Google search, which obviously you didn't care the least bit to perform (just try "Microsoft Mapuche Reuters" and the very first result is a news article in a major Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, explicitly based on the Reuters teletype). If you ever have any doubt about the verifiability of an information for which a source link is provided, you should voice your concerns in the Talk section first before proceding with a wholesale deletion. 213.37.6.23 (talk) 10:39, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are two reference links there. The second, to a Spanish news outlet, works, but the first, to a Reuters news article, does not; it just goes to the Reuters homepage. --Haruo (talk) 15:22, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This was nine years ago. Does anyone know what the outcome was? I have not been able to find out by googling. The only hits I find are about the Mapuche intent to sue Microsoft, even to the Supreme Court. What ever happened? —Stephen (talk) 22:03, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Is there any lexical influence from Chono language in the Mapudungun? I would guess that there is because there are a lot of Chono placenames in Chiloe very close to places with Mapudungun names. Dentren | Talk 09:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Chono language is not a proven language. Placenames in Chiloe which aren't known Mapuche etymology are considered as "Chono" in lacking of another name. The only text in "real Chono" was written c. 1750 and it has a translation made by a linguist in 1950's. You could read Sustrato y superestrato multilingües en el extremo sur de Chile and :es:Idioma chono. Bye. Lin linao 11:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Realtion with Chono

message: I changed the wording of the paragraph on nouns in the grammar section. It used a very 'oh look what a weird language this is!' wording, contrasting the animate/inanimate with masculine/feminin ('like in French, Spanish and Portuguese'), not NPOV at all.

message: Is anybody here who're able to tell me how to pronounce the Mapudungun word "daquel"? --91.89.45.77 (talk) 13:24, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone helped me. It's [dakel] (german writed).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.89.45.77 (talk) 13:29, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Dakel is pronuonced [ θaˈkel ] or [  ðaˈkel ]. See Voiceless dental fricative and Voiced dental fricative. I suppose that in English could be spelled like "thah-kehl" (?). Bye. Lin linao (talk) 04:13, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Language question 

message: Gee, could anyone dig up a *more* offensive and stereotypical image that is as completely unrelated to a language than this one? Perhaps a picture of cannibalism or something?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.94.96.194 (talk) 18:54, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

message: "The Mapuche language, Mapudungun (from mapu 'earth, land' and dungun 'speak, speech') [...] 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." Nevertheless it should be noted that the Wikipedia Incubator's Mapuche test page calls it "Araucanian": here. --Haruo (talk) 15:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Araucanian 

message: Hello! I'm perplexed: the infobox says that Mapudungun is part of an Araucanian family (along with Huilliche), but in the main article it is described as a "language isolate". Which one of these claims is the right one? Lwyx (talk) 21:23, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a matter of opinion. If Huilliche is a dialect, then it's an isolate. If it's a separate language, then it's a family of two. Same for a lot of the other "isolates" out there. — kwami (talk) 11:26, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
