 Amazon.ca: Grammar of Misantla Totonac: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Misantla Totonac is the southernmost variety of Totonac and is spoken in the area between Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz, Mexico and Misantla, Veracruz.
In 1974, a newly paved road connected Xalapa and Misantla bringing a relatively isolated area into contact with mainstream Mexican language and culture.
Consequently, Misantla Totonac is no longer acquired as a first language by the local children and is rapidly being replaced by Spanish.

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.

In the Misantla dialect, there are roughly six major verb prefix categories, and three verb suffix categories.

Historically, the area was known as Totonacapan and corresponds to the territory of the Totonac Empire, which at its height constructed the impressive pre-Columbian city of El Tajin.
The Totonacs themselves are divided between Lowland (speakers of Misantla and Papantla Totonac) and Highland cultures, the latter occupying the Northern Sierra of Puebla and the adjacent foothills of Veracruz.
Upper Necaxa Totonac is spoken in the valley of the Necaxa River due east and a little south of Xicotepec de Juarez, Puebla, a two hour bus ride (mostly down) on winding mountain roads.

 Purpus in Mexico - 3
Brandegee, T. It is interesting to note that Purpus, in 1912, plainly identified in the field the genus Gunnera, which was published about 1922 as a new species, Gunnera mexicana Brandegee (Brandegee, 1909-1924).
Hoffmann, C. Purpus remained four weeks in Misantla, using the house of Engelmann or William Gugelmann (according to C.C. Hoffman (1932)) as a point of reference.
Purpus leaves Misantla the 15th of August in the company of Engelmann in order to explore that which he himself called "the savannas of the Baños de Carrizal," this being no other than the lower deciduous forest of Miranda (Miranda and Hernandez, 1963).

Despite public outrage and government statements regarding bringing justice to those responsible, six months have now passed with no conclusions nor any real leads in an investigation mired in politics, unprofessionalism, and lack of ethics.
Originally from Misantla, Veracruz, Digna Ochoa was a prominent lawyer known and respected both in Mexico and abroad for her tireless defense of the poor and voiceless.
In accepting cases involving political prisoners, persons accused of involvement with insurgent groups, and torture and rape by military personnel (including the highly-publicized case of celebrated environmental activists, Rodolfo Montiel and Teodoro Cabrera,) Digna incited the wrath of state institutions from the Mexican Army to state police forces to the federal government itself.

They are low cost and popular for getting from here to there.
In Misantla, blue and white second-class buses are sometimes slangily referred to as "totoleros." "Totol" is a local word for "turkey," so I would loosely translate "el totolero" as "the Turkey Express." On these buses passengers are allowed to carry small animals, such as a chicken, or a small pig in a sack.
The totoleros are slow, making frequent stops as they travel between towns.
