Araucanian Swadesh lists?

Hi. This page looks like a misunderstanding about Araucanian languages are. Aymara, Wichi and Kunza belong to three distinct families, the only member of such "Araucanian family" is Mapudungun (SIL includes Huilliche too, but it can be a divergent dialect). User Alpinu made this page for languages of Chile and User Steevey7788 made this change which suggests that Aymara, Wichi and Kunza are Araucanian languages too. My propose is move this appendix to Mapudungun Swadesh list with only Mapudungun (alike Appendix:Albanian Swadesh list) or move it to Languages of Chile Swadesh list (removing Wichi). Bye.

It is not meant to suggest that all of those languages are Araucanian. Steevey7788 meant that they are some neighboring languages that someone studying Araucanian might like to compare with. There are theories of larger families that include more languages. For example, Appendix:Swadesh lists for Siouan languages includes Pawnee, which is not a Siouan language. If you are able to include other Araucanian languages besides Mapudundun, they are very welcome. —Stephen ^(Talk) 01:27, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Ok, but it was not clear. There is no another Araucanian language, except Huilliche of SIL. Can I rearrange columns for Mapudungun be (?, my English scares me) as first member of table? Bye. --Lin linao (talk) 18:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, rearrange it. —Stephen ^(Talk) 11:13, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
