I would like to work with Kevin Murphy (User:Kmurphy4). He has a much stronger background in linguistics than I do, which will complement my past work in computer science for this class.

Mapudungun
Mapudungun is a language isolate, meaning that is not historically or linguistically related to other languages; some sources indicate that there is some lexical influence from the Quechuan languages and from Spanish. It is natively spoken by the Mapuche people, who live in central Chile and central-western Argentina; approx. 144,000 native speakers in Chile and approx. 8400 in Argentina. Mapudungun was once known as Araucanian, which was a name given to the Mapuche by the Spanish - this name is now considered offensive. There are four main dialect groups: north, central, south-central and south. Within these dialect groups, there are eight dialect subgroups numbered I through VII. There was no system of writing before the Spanish arrived in the late 1500s/early 1600s. Mapudungun is an agglutinative language, meaning that it is composed of sequences of meaningful word elements (called morphemes) each of which belongs to a single grammatical category. Most verb phrases are formed from five or six morphemes. There have been some efforts to revitalize Mapudungun, but it remains the case that fewer than a third of all Mapuche children graduate eight grade, and there are no official language classes on Mapudungun.[1]
