Mapudungun is the language spoken by the Mapuche people, an Indigenous group primarily located in southern Chile and Argentina. It is part of the larger Araucanian language family and has a rich oral tradition, with many stories, songs, and cultural expressions passed down through generations. The language is recognized as a minority language in both countries, and efforts are being made to revitalize it among younger generations. Mapudungun has its own unique grammar and vocabulary, reflecting the culture and worldview of the Mapuche people, and it plays a vital role in their identity and heritage.
