Allentiac language
Extinct Huarpean language of South America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allentiac (Alyentiyak), also known as Huarpe (Warpe), was one of the Huarpean languages.[1][2] It was native to Cuyo in Argentina, but was displaced to Chile in the late 16th century. Luis de Valdivia, a Jesuit missionary, wrote a grammar, vocabulary and religious texts.[3] The people became mestizo and lost their language soon after.
