This includes a somewhat encyclopedic definition and one or more definitions that seem to be of proper nouns. The term seems to be used in various ways including as a single mountain range, a group of mountain ranges, and a group of mountain ranges in a certain type of location relative to a continent. Sometimes the plural is used for the latter two, I think. (deprecated template usage) Cordillera may not exist except as a deixis or anaphora referring to a particular cordillera, which might account for the second sense.

- How is this a proper noun? It's spelled without initial capitalization, and it doesn't refer to a specific named thing but rather to a class of things, as an identifier of type. I'm not sure this qualifies as a proper noun. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 17:17, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
