		The Zapotecan languages are spoken in the state of Oaxaca, primarily in the central valleys near Oaxaca City, south from there to the Pacific coast, southeast to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and northeast into the Sierra de Juarez.
		The Zapotecan family is one of the largest families in the Otomanguean stock in terms of the number of speakers.
		Like other Otomanguean languages, most Zapotecan languages are tonal, which means that the pitch with which a word is pronounced is so important that a change in the pitch can change one word into an entirely different one.

	Stocks and families of Mexican languages
		The genetic relationship of many of the languages which are today known as Otomanguean languages has been long recognized, beginning perhaps most explicitly with the proposals of Orozco y Berra in 1864.
		Regardless of the details of family subgroupings, the Otomanguean stock, which includes languages from as far north as the states of Hidalgo and Querétaro (Otomi) and as far south as Nicaragua (Mangue, now extinct), is a group of languages whose potential for the study of language change over the centuries rivals that of Indo-European languages.

	Native American Language
		In North America they occur in eastern Pomo dialects and in Tuscarora (Iroquoian); in Middle America in Nahuatl, in the Otomanguean languages, and as final consonants in Quiché Maya and Totonac; and in South America as final consonants in Toba and as nasals in Zamuco.
		They are also found in Middle America in the Otomanguean languages and in South America in various languages, notably in the Macro-Gê, Tupian, and Panoan groups.
		Such languages occur in Kickapoo (Algonquian-Ritwan) in Mexico near Texas; several Otomanguean languages, Nahuatl dialects, and the Totonacan languages in Middle America; and the Aguaruna (Jívaroan) and the Sirionó (Tupian) in South America.

	5aPP7. Further studies of perception of speech and music in children. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Data obtained provide information that Spanish-speaking subjects at all ages and younger Otomi- and Zapotec-speaking subjects perceived the pitch of samples of their language in a manner that was similar to their perception of the pitch of synthesized musical samples.
		On the other hand, older subjects speaking Otomanguean tongues seemed to perceive the lexical pitch shifts in words of their language in a manner contrasting with the perception of musical pitch.
		Neurosurgical studies are in progress to assess whetherthese differences are due to changes in the cerebral localization of pitch perception in the course of central auditory development.

	Otomanguean Native American Indian history Mexican Zapotec rugs
		Of the 173 living Otomanguean tongues, 64 are Zapotecan.
		These are subsequently divided into three geographic subgroups within the state of Oaxaca: Northern, Southern and Isthmus Zapotec, with a slight overlap into the neighboring states of Chiapas and Veracruz.
		In succeeding millennia, various branches continued to diverge within each language group, and within Otomanguean the most important branches were the Otomí-Pame, Chocho-Popoloca-Mazateco, Mixe-Zoque and Mixtec-Zapotec.

		Marcus (1989) is a strong advocate of the Otomangue hypothesis.
		The hypothesis that the Olmec spoke an Otomanguean language is not supported by the contemporary spatial distribution of languages spoken in the Tabsco/Veracruz area.
		The Olmec-Manding substrata in Otomi and Maya suggest that Maya and Otomanguean speaking invanders caused the disruption of the homogeneous Olmec language spoken in the riverine cities of the Olmec.

		a tribe of the Popolocan family and Otomanguean stock living in the northern part of the Mixtec territory, State of Oaxaca, México.
		a tribe belonging to the Otomian linguistic family and Otomanguean stock, occupying a narrow strip of territory south of the Mazahua, extending southwest from Toluca.
		Juarros (1884), followed by Thomas (1911), places them in the Lencan stock but Mason and Johnson incline to agree with Lehmann (1920) that they should be classed as Xincan.

	The Decipherment of the Olmec Writing System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Otomanguean family include Zapotec, Mixtec and Otomi to name a few.
		The hypothesis that the Olmec spoke an Otomanguean language is not supported by the contemporary spatial distribution of the languages spoken in the Tabasco/Veracruz area.
		If this linguistic evidence is correct, many of the languages in the Otomanguean family are spoken by people who may have only recently settled in the Olmec heartland, and may not reflect the people that invented the culture we call Olmecs today.

		This is the first comprehensive grammar of any variety of Mixtec written for linguists.
		It provides theoretically informed (generative) description and analysis of the phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexical semantics of this dialect, situated in the broader context of Mixtecan and Otomanguean languages.
		Mixtec is an Otomanguean language spoken in south-central Mexico, primarily in the state of Oaxaca (although also in parts of Puebla and Guerrero).

		Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item:
		Kuiper and Merrifield (1975) have analyzed Diuxi Mixtec verbs of motion and arrival in terms of the notions "Base," "one-way," and "round trip." This paper compares their analysis with Speck and Pickett's (1976) work on the same domain in Texmelucan Zapotec, and presents an analysis parallel to the latter for Chalcatongo Mixtec.
		A reanalysis of the Diuxi data along these same lines is then shown to be much more explanatory, and also allows a general statement to be made about verbs of motion and arrival in the Otomanguean language family.
