	Writing Mazateco: Linguistic Standardization and Social Power
		However, the views of particular groups of Mazatecos were shaped not so much by linguistic criteria, but by how they conceptualized the relationship between regional and national culture, as well as their particular willingness to allow the ethnolinguists to speak and act on their behalf.
		Corn, coffee, and envy: An ethnographic narrative of a Mazateco village.
		The Mazateco language is often divided into two broad dialect groups: highland speakers occupy the Sierra Mazateca mountain range in the district of Teotitlán de Flores Magón, while the approximately 17,000 speakers of lowland Mazateco reside in the area surrounding the Miguel Alemán Dam in the district of Tuxtepec, along the Oaxaca-Veracruz border.

	Whistled language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Mazateco, a tonal language spoken in Oaxaca, Mexico, is also whistled.
		As the expressivity of whistle sound is limited compared to ordinary speech, whistled messages are typically short and standard and often have to be repeated.
		Whistled languages are found and used in locations with similarly abrupt relief created by difficult mountainous terrain, slow or difficult communication (no telephones), low population density and/or scattered settlements, and other isolating features such as sheepherding and cultivation of hillsides (ibid: 27-8).

		Occupying the northernmost region of the state, the Mazatecos occupy two environmentally and culturally well-defined regions: the upper Sierra Madre Oriental mountains and the Papaloapan Basin.
		Some historians, in their interpretation of the Quauhtinchan Annals, believe that the Mazatecos descend from the Nonoalca-Chichimecas, who migrated south from Tula early in the Twelfth Century.
		These numbers increased significantly in the 2000 census, when 174,352 Mazateco speakers were tallied, representing 15.6% of the total indigenous speaking population of Oaxaca.

		"All whistled languages share one basic characteristic: they function by varying the frequency of a simple wave-form as a function of time, generally with minimal dynamic variations (but see Cowan 1948 see Mazateco), which is readily understandable since in most cases their only purpose is long-distance communication." (ibid: 32)
		Languages communicated by whistling are relatively rare, but are known from around the world.
