Tlapanec is an indigenous Mexican language spoken by more than 98,000 Tlapanec people in the state of Guerrero.〔INEGI 2005: http://cuentame.inegi.org.mx/impresion/poblacion/lindigena.asp〕 Like other Oto-Manguean languages, it is tonal and has complex inflectional morphology. The ethnic group themselves refer to their ethnic identity and language as ''Me'phaa'' .〔Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas. 2008. Catálogo de las lenguas indígenas nacionales: Variantes lingüísticas de México con sus autodenominaciones y referencias geoestadísticas. Diario Oficial 14 enero, Primera Sección: 31-78, Segunda Sección: 1-96, Tercera Sección: 1-112.〕 Before much information was known about it, Tlapanec (sometimes written "Tlappanec" in earlier publications) was either considered unclassified or linked to the controversial Hokan language family. It is now definitively considered part of the Oto-Manguean language family, of which it forms its own branch along with the extinct and very closely related Subtiaba language of Nicaragua.〔See Suárez (1977; 1986).〕 Me'phaa people temporarily move to other locations, including Mexico City, Morelos and various locations in the United States, for reasons of work. ==Varieties== Ethnologue distinguishes four Tlapanec languages:〔(Computer-generated list of Tlapanec languages ) at ''Ethnologue'' (2013)〕 *Acatepec (dialects Acatepec proper, Huitzapula, Nanzintla, Teocuitlapa, Zapotitlán Tablas) *Azoyú *Malinaltepec (dialect Huehuetepec/Zilacayotitlán) *Tlacoapa (dialects Tlacoapa proper, Tenamazapa) Other sources of information, including native speakers and the Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas of the Mexican government, identify eight or nine varieties, which have been given official status: Acatepec, Azoyú, Malinaltepec, Tlacoapa, Nancintla, Teocuitlapa, Zapotitlán Tablas (with Huitzapula sometimes considered distinct), Zilacayotitlán.〔A 2008 proposal to divide the ISO code for Acatepec into Acatepec proper, Teocuitlapa, Zapotitlan Tablas, and Huitsapula was rejected.()〕 These share mutual intelligibility of 50% between Malinaltepec and Tlacoapa, though Acatepec has an 80% intelligibility of both. The Azoyú variety is the only natural language reported to have used the pegative case, though it is verbal case like other 'case' markers in Tlapanec.〔Wichmann (2005).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tlapanec language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
