I believe that a Mapudungun wikipedia should be developed to encourage the growth of the language of the Mapuche, especially within their younger generation. Unfortunately, I don't know Mapudungun nor do I know who to contact to bring this idea into fruition. Anyone want to help?--GringoInChile 00:46, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- Like Inuktitut, the language name seems to be derived from a native word basically meaning "our language" and since the people call themselves "the people", which is Mapuche, there's no way of confusing the language and the group of speakers. Hence the formula "XXX language" seems superflous and I've moved the article to Mapudungun.

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)
