El idioma mapuche o mapudungum es una lengua ágrafa, es decir no tuvo escritura. No hay consenso absoluto entre los especialistas respecto de los signos fonéticos más adecuados para transcribir las expresiones orales. Como regla muy general, las palabras simples terminadas en consonante son agudas, por ejemplo: ralun, malen; y las terminadas en vocal, son graves, por ejemplo: huapi, cura, ruca.
