No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct Spanish form is lengua fueguina, spelled L-E-N-G-U-A- -F-U-E-G-U-I-N-A, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
