Kimayen Tse Süngun [mapuche]

The Mapuche language is composed of different variants that respond to specific characteristics of each territory.

Each variant receives a name and specific pronunciation. So names like "mapudungun", "chedüngun", "Mapuzugun", "mapunzungun" among others.

Williche in the territory of what is now Chile, specifically in the "fütalmapu" called "Fütawillimapu" or "Great South Land", which stretches from Lake Ranco, Los Ríos region, to Chiloe, Los Lagos region has variant existed "Che Sungun" or "Tse Sungun" (the language of the people).

This variant has fewer than a dozen senior speakers, elderly men and women who are the last vestige of a form of communication ancestral born around the "Ñuke Kutralwe" (Mother Cooker).

It is worth remembering that our mapunche language was banned by various state, private and religious mechanisms, punishing public use. Against this, many parents do not have transgressed the Sungun Tse their sons and daughters to spare them suffering and kindness of civilized society "winka" humiliations.

Faced with the imminent danger of the Tse Sungun disappear, this "app" is a humble target build enthusiasm in the new mapunche generations and not mapunche to be able to retrieve, disseminate and "reposition" our variant williche as a primary tool for communication and strengthening collective identity.

We hope you like it, use it and help us defend our Tse Sungun.

Manum.
