The Mixe languages are languages of the Mixean branch of the Mixe–Zoquean language family indigenous to southern Mexico. According to a 1995 classification, there are seven of them (including one that is extinct). The four that are spoken in Oaxaca are commonly called Mixe while their two relatives spoken in Veracruz are commonly called "Popoluca", but sometimes also Mixe (these are "Oluta Popoluca" or "Olutec Mixe" and "Sayula Popoluca" or "Sayultec Mixe"). This article is about the Oaxaca Mixe languages, which their speakers call ''Ayuujk'', ''Ayüük'' or ''Ayuhk''. 133,000 people reported their language to be "Mixe" in the 2010 census. A few thousand of the 41,000 who reported their language to be "Popoluca" are presumably Sayula Popoluca (Mixe). ==Classification== Oaxaca Mixe languages are spoken in the ''Sierra Mixe'' of eastern Oaxaca. These four languages are: North Highland Mixe, spoken around Totontepec (the most divergent); South Highland Mixe, spoken around Santa María Tlahuitoltepec, Ayutla and Tamazulapan); Midland Mixe, spoken around Juquila and Zacatepec; and Lowland Mixe, spoken in San Juan Guichicovi (this language is also known as "Isthmus Mixe"). The following classification is from Wichmann (1995:9). ;Mixe (Oaxacan Mixean) *North Highland Mixe (Totontepec) *South Highland Mixe * *Core (Tlahuitoltepec, Ayutla, Tamazulapan) * *Fringe (Tepuxtepec, Tepantlali, Mixistlán) *Midland Mixe * *North Midland Mixe (Jaltepec, Puxmetacan, Matamoros, Cotzocón) * *South Midland Mixe (Juquila, Cacalotepec) *Lowland Mixe (Camotlán, San José El Paraíso / Coatlán, Mazatlán, Guichicovi) 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「Mixe languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
