Mixean languages
The Mixean languages are a primary branch of the Mixe–Zoquean language family of southern Mexico. According to Wichmann (1995), there are three divergent Mixean languages, and a Oaxacan branch that constitutes the bulk of the family:
- Oluta Popoluca (Veracruz)
- Sayula Popoluca (Veracruz)
- Tapachultec (Chiapas, extinct)
- Mixe languages (Oaxaca, several languages - including Mixe or Ayöök)
