Mixe Language
Mixe is a Mixe-Zoquean language of Mexico.
Actually there are between three and eight different Mixe languages, depending how you count them--the
languages are different enough that their native speakers cannot necessarily understand each other, similar to speakers of
related languages like English and Dutch. Two Popoluca
languages of Veracruz are also closely related to Mixe and are sometimes referred to as Mixe de Veracruz. In total
nearly 90,000 people speak Mixe languages in Mexico today, and another 4,000 speak the
two Popoluca Mixean languages.
