The near relationship of the Lule, Vilela and Chunupi appears clear from
the above comparison. The Chunupi words are taken from Fontana (_ubi
suprá_), the Vilela from the vocabulary of Gilii’s _Storia Americana_,
and the Lule from Machoni’s Grammar.
The Mataco is also from Fontana, and represents the dialect as spoken
to-day. The words marked D. are from the D’Orbigny MSS.
LANGUAGES OF THE LA PLATA BASIN AND PAMPAS.
