| Summary: | This book by Herman Carvajal Lazo focuses on the indigenous place names, or toponyms, in the Norte Chico region of Chile, encompassing the Atacama and Coquimbo areas. The study investigates over 10,000 toponyms, with a particular emphasis on 2,549 indigenous names. The research aims to understand the etymology and semantics of these names to reveal insights into the historical presence of indigenous ethnic groups, specifically the Diaguita people, before their gradual replacement by Spanish names. The work serves as a cultural and linguistic exploration, intended for scholars and enthusiasts of Latin American history, anthropology, and linguistics. It provides a detailed classification based on the language of origin and geographical characteristics. |
