The Chaco Project into their lives and sharing their languages, stories, and history with us. 
Additionally, financial assistance was provided by Eastern Michigan University’s 
Graduate Student Research Support Fund and The LINGUIST List. Additional funding was 
provided by grants from the Hans Rausing Endangered Languages Documentation 
Programme (HRELDP) from the University of London’s School of Oriental and African

ABSTRACT 
The Wichí language, a member of the Matacoan language family, is spoken in parts 
of South America’s Chaco region. Specifically, Wichí is found in the Salta, Chaco, and 
Formosa provinces of Argentina, as well as in southeastern Bolivia. Wichí is an endangered 
language, with speakers numbering c. 25,000 (although estimates vary greatly). This study 
aims to contribute to the documentation of Wichí and to our understanding of human 
language in general by providing insight into the phonetics and phonology of the dialect of 
Wichí spoken in the remote village of Misión La Paz, Salta, Argentina. The data for this 
study were collected in Misión La Paz during two 4-week periods in the summers of 2005 
and 2006.
