Mapuche language

Mapudungun (from 'land' and 'speak, speech', meaning 'the speech of the land'; also rendered as Mapuzugun and Mapudungu) or Mapuche ( , ; from 'land' and 'people', meaning 'the people of the land') is a language, either a language isolate or member of the small Araucanian family related to Huilliche, spoken in south-central Chile and west-central Argentina by the Mapuche people. It was formerly known as Araucanian, the name given to the Mapuche by the Spanish. The Mapuche avoid this term as a remnant of Spanish colonialism.

Copahue () is a stratovolcano in the Andes on the border of Bío Bío Region, Chile and Neuquén Province, Argentina. There are nine volcanic craters along a line, the easternmost of which is historically the most active, and contains a 300 m (1000 ft) wide crater lake with a pH ranging between 0.18 and 0.30. Eruptions from this crater lake have ejected pyroclastic rocks and chilled liquid sulfur fragments. Although the lake emptied during the 2000 eruption, it later returned to its previous levels. Copahue means "sulphur waters" in Mapuche.
