Mamihlapinatapei: The Yaghan Language

The meaning of Mamihlapinatapei is definitely clear, and interesting, I cannot think of a word in Spanish that has a similar definition either. The Yaghan language comes from the earliest settlers from Tierra del Fuego around 8,000 B.C, however, the Yaghan language is now dying language, since there is only one surviving native Yaghan speaker. It must be hard to not be able to speak your native language to someone, I sometimes get frustrated when my middle child does not understand my Spanish conversations, honestly I cannot imagine not being able to speak it to someone else. I now feel that I have taken my language for granted, the Yaghan people speak Spanish now.
