	Sorting It All Out : Mapudungun is not a map to a dungeon
		Mapudungun is an Amerind language spoken by about 250,000 people in the central valley of Chile and another 100,000 in the Argentinean region of Patagonia.
		Mapudungun features an interesting grammar in which animate nouns are distinguished from inanimate ones, there is not only singular and plural but also a dual (so there is, for example, I, the two of us and we) and an extremely rich scheme of verb conjugation.
		Mapudungun is the second Windows XP LIP for South America and the fifth one based on Spanish as a base language (the others being Basque, Catalan, Galician and Quechua)

	Mapudungun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mapudungun (mapu means 'earth' and dungun means 'to speak') is a language isolate spoken in central Chile and west central Argentina by the Mapuche (mapu is 'earth' and che means 'people') people.
		Instead, it distinguishes animate nouns from inanimate ones -- this opposition is reflected in the use of pu as a plural indicator for nouns that denote animate objects and yuka as an equivalent plural for inanimate nouns.
		The formalization and normalization of Mapudungun was effected by the first Mapudungun grammar published by the Jesuit priest Luis de Valdivia in 1606 (Arte y Gramatica General de la Lengva que Corre en Todo el Reyno de Chile).

	Chapter 2 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In Mapudungun the effect of parallelism is even stronger, and even overpowers the subject bias in the case of object-to-object reference.
		Yet even for Mapudungun, the rate of null reference for object-to-object reference is not as high as for subject-to-subject reference, suggesting that both Subjecthood and parallelism are influencing the outcome.
		This pattern is especially pronounced for Mapudungun, but this may stem from the fact that the Mapudungun analysis did not include oblique arguments or any referring forms from subordinate clauses.

		The saliency hierarchy for Mapudungun is 1 > 2 > 3[prox] > 3[obv].
		In Mapudungun, the difference between the inverse and direct is in whether the Actor is the grammatical Subject (direct) or the grammatical Object (inverse).
		Although obviative is not overt in Mapudungun, I posit that there is an underlying concept of obviative-proximate which drives the choice between inverse and direct, such that if the proximate 3rd person is Actor, the form is direct, and if it is Undergoer, then the form is inverse.

	The Mapuche Language
		One difference is that Mapudungun is not a language with a long written tradition.
		Another way in which Mapudungun differs from English and Spanish is that there are different pronouns and different endings for the verb, depending on whether you are talking about one person, two person, or three or more people.
		The verb in Mapudungun is one of the interesting parts of the language, and where it differs the most from English or Spanish.
