This review is from: Diccionario Mapuche-Castellano, Castellano-Mapuche / [Textos, Maria Esposito; Editor, Oscar Armayor] (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Mapuche (or Mapudungu) should not be absent in any serious

attempt to study and to compare Native American Languages

in all their wealth and linguistic/cultural heritage.

"Diccionario Mapuche" gives us a lot of Mapuche words which

are not otherwise accessible and helps us in this way to get

acquainted with (traditional) Mapuche lexicon, and the basic

words can be looked up by means of Spanish. You are not taught

how to speak the sound symbols employed, and there is no

grammar, so you will not actually learn this language with this

dictionary, but "Diccionario Mapuche" offers sufficient

materials in Mapuche to combine profitably with some grammar

still to be offered to the interested reader. "Diccionario

Mapuche" offers interesting chapters on Mapuche mythology

and beliefs, legends, and also a chapter on Mapuche chiefs which might be of value to Latin American historians.
