Allentiac language

Extinct Huarpean language of South America

Allentiac (Alyentiyak), also known as Huarpe (Warpe), was one of two known Warpean languages.[1] 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.[2] The people became mestizo and lost their language soon after.
