 Chiapas. Zoque missions update: Tecpatán; Copainalá; Chiapa de Corso
Despite the background of political unrest that continues to plague this scenic but poor southern Mexican state, much constructive work has nevertheless continued on the restoration and renovation of the region's colonial monuments.
For many years the elegant 16th century Dominican church of Copainalá, located in the Zoque region of northern Chiapas was ruinous and open to the elements.
At last, a new wooden roof covers the nave, ensuring the integrity of the structure and allowing this imposing church to once more function as the focus of the religious life of the community.

 Los Zoques
While Catholicism is the official religion of the Zoques, superstitions and animism are the norm.
Amongst the Zoques, the sun is seen as the supreme god and is associated with Jesus.
The Zoques do not believe that the Catholic priest holds the maximum authority, but they do celebrate the saints, offer ritualistic sacrifices, and hold traditional Catholic celebrations.

 Chapter 5
Perhaps the explanation is that even resource-rich Soconusco had been pushed to the limits of its "carrying capacity," and overpopulation had finally obliged the Zoques to expand into the territories of their Maya neighbors to the north.
The original Zoquean core of Soconusco was all but submerged by Nahuatl-speakers, although the Tapachultecas managed to retain their own linguistic identity in the mountains back of Izapa until the latter decades of the nineteenth century.
Using such a definition, the location of San Lorenzo, relative to the Zoque homeland in Soconusco, is seen to be adjacent; in other words, if the region of Soconusco itself was central to the life of the Zoques, then San Lorenzo was the nearest major Olmec ceremonial center to that area.

 B07 Sound patterns in Human Language: allophony and distinctiveness
Voicing is a redundant feature of Zoque, which is predictable based on the immediate environment of the stop.
Complementary distribution is a strong indication that we are dealing with separate allophones of one underlying phoneme.
Because the voiceless stops occur in a greater variety of positions than the voiced stops, we suggest that the stops are all underlyingly voiceless, and that they become voiced if, and only if, they are immediately preceded by a nasal.

 Proof: Spics R Really Chinks In Disguise! Peep the Archaelogical Evidence B*tch!!! - SOHH.com Global Forum
There are three problems with the Justenson and Kaufman decipherment of Epi-Olmec: 1) there is no clear evidence of Zoque speakers in Olmec areas 3200 years ago, 2) there is no such thing as a "pre-Proto-Soquean/Zoquean language, 3)there is an absence of a Zoque substratum in the Mayan languages.
Secondly, Justenson and Kaufman base their claim of a Zoque origin for the Olmec language on the presence of a few Zoque speakers around mount Tuxtla, this is a false principle.
The fact that there is no evidence that 1)the Zoque were in the ancient Olmec land 3200 years ago, 2)there is no Zoque substrate language in Mayan, and 3) there is no such thing as "pre-Proto-Zoque" falsifies Justenson and Kaufman hypothesis.

 Zoque Language (Soke)
Actually there are between two and five different Zoque languages--Zoque de Chiapas, Zoque de Oaxaca, and Zoque de Tabasco are different enough that speakers of one cannot understand speakers of the others, and some linguists even consider the different dialects of Zoque de Chiapas distinct enough to be separate languages.
Two Popoluca languages of Veracruz are also closely related to Zoque and are sometimes referred to as Zoque de Veracruz.
In total nearly 40,000 people speak Zoque languages in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Tabasco today, and another 30,000 speak the two Popoluca Zoquean languages.

 Zoque
When a nasal or liquid precedes a glottal stop, the glottal stop surfaces before the consonant.
Palatalization (Sagey1986): Sagey (1986) argues that apparent glide/consonant metathesis in Zoque isn't metathesis at all.
