Manual de las lenguas indígenas sudamericanas I & II

(Handbook of South-American Indian Languages)
ALAIN FABRE

The handbook presents data about 428 contemporary indigenous
languages/ethnic groups of South and Central America from onduras to
Tierra del Fuego, in the form of dictionary entries arranged according
to linguistic groups. After an introduction discussing problems of
linguistic grouping and ethnic status of population groups follows a
general bibliography of more than 4500 titles, general maps of the
countries mentioned, a cross-referenced index of about 3200 names of
ethnic groups/subgroups, languages, and varieties. Each entry of the
dictionary contains: (1) precise geographical locations, (2) name(s)
under which the ethnolinguistic groups are known in the literature,
including some considered nowadays obsolete but found in older
sources, (3) own name(s) whenever known, (4) number of speakers of the
language and/or ethnic group, (5) bibliography of the group, including
ethnology, linguistics, ethnohistory and legal rights, (6)
observations concerning ethnohistory, linguistic and/or ethnical
grouping, including many moot points and first hand observations
obtained in personal communications from experienced field workers,
anthropologists and linguists.  [written in Spanish].
