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.
Three languages we are thinking about are:
- 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
- Futuna
