Mixean languages


The Mixean languages are a primary branch of the Mixe–Zoquean language family of southern Mexico. According to Wichmann, there are three divergent Mixean languages, and a Oaxacan branch that constitutes the bulk of the family:
Tapachultec has been extinct since the 1930s, Olutec is moribund, and Sayultec is endangered. However, the different varieties of Mixe proper collectively maintain upwards of 100,000 speakers.
