Fuegian languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fuegian languages refers to mainly to three languages spoken in Tierra del Fuego by native Americans; the Kawésqar language, the Selk'nam language and the Yaghan language.

The term can be regarded as a collective name, but currently there is no evidence that they are related to each other. The Kawésqar and Yaghan languages are considered language isolates while Selk'nam language belongs to Chon languages.
