 There are some 1.7 million Mapuche living in Chile, of whom 114,000 speak Mapudungun.Huilliche dialect or "Chesungun" is a divergent variety of Mapudungun that had 2,000 speakers in 1982, living in the Los Ríos and Los Lagos regions.As most of those speakers were elderly, it is uncertain if there are any existing speakers today.
