 | | All but the oldest speakers are bilingual, and in most households the language of child-rearing has been switched to Spanish by parents who see proficiency in the dominant language as an advantage for their children. |
 | | At least one other Totonacan language (Misantla Totonac) is on the verge of extinction (MacKay 1999) while another (Ozumatl‡n) has fewer than 2,000 speakers remaining (Grimes 1992). |
 | | Papantla Totonac is dealt with in Levy (1987, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999a, 1999b, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c, 2003, in press), and new studies are currently underway of Tepehua languages (Pisa Flores and Huehuetla), as well as of the Sierra Totonac varieties spoken in Zapotitlan and Filomena Mata. |
