Resumen:
Despite documented processes of language attrition, Mapudungun is a strong distinguishing component in Mapuche social and personal identity. Throughout history Mapudungun and its speakers have maintained long-lasting relationships with other peoples and their languages Quechua, Gününa Yajüch, Aymara, and Spanish. Spanish has unquestionably had the greatest impact on Mapudungun. However, unlike other Latin American languages, Mapudungun does not manifest language mixing or a strikingly large number of Spanish loanwords. Moreover, since early post-conquest contact, borrowing has been ruled by Mapudungun phonological and morphosyntactic patterns and guided by pragmatic needs.
Finally, Spanish loanwords currently constitute an open and productive domain. The creation of the Mapudungun loanword database is, thus, an ongoing undertaking.
