Wayteka language

Wayteka (Wurk-wur-we, "Chono") is the name applied to the supposed language of a spurious vocabulary claimed to be from an indigenous language of the Gulf of Penas in Chile.

Samitier (1967)

The following list of purported "Chono" (Wayteka) words is taken from Samitier (1967). It was later found to be spurious by Campbell (2012), consisting of vocabulary from various languages of the region, such as Mapudungun, Gününa Küne, Kawésqar, Tehuelche, and some which appear to have been invented.
