Among the indigenous languages of Patagonia that can still be heard today we find Ranquel and Tehuelche. The first one is a variety of Mapudungunspoken in the Province of La Pampa, and the second one, called by them-selves Aonek’o ajen, is a language that belongs to the Chon family and was spoken between the Santa Cruz river and the Strait of Magellan. During the eighties, both languages were in an advanced state of extinc-tion. Even though, since 1994, when the Constitutional Reform gave the aboriginal peoples the right of being alphabetized in their own languages, both communities undertook the way to revitalise the vernaculars.
