Tarahumara is a Uto-Aztecan language of Mexico.
There are more than 60,000 Tarahumara speakers in Mexico, mostly in Chihuahua. There are actually several different
dialects of Tarahumara which are so different from each other that it is difficult for speakers of one to understand
speakers of the other. For this reason many linguists consider them distinct languages.
