Zapotec languages
The Zapotec 〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 languages are a group of closely related indigenous Mesoamerican languages that constitute a main branch of the Oto-Manguean language family and which is spoken by the Zapotec people from the southwestern-central highlands of Mexico. The 2010 Mexican census reports 425,000 speakers, with the majority inhabiting the state of Oaxaca. Zapotec-speaking communities are also found in the neighboring states of Puebla, Veracruz, and Guerrero. Labor migration has also brought a number of native Zapotec-speakers to the United States, particularly in California and Bridgeton, New Jersey. Most Zapotec speaking communities are highly bilingual in Spanish.

(2007)〕 in Mitla it is ''Didxsaj'' ,〔Stubblefield & Stubblefield (1991:18)〕 in Zoogocho it is ''Diža'xon'' ,〔Long & Cruz (1999)〕 in Coatec Zapotec it is ''Di'zhke ,〔Beam de Azcona 2004〕 in Miahuatec Zapotec it is ''Dí'zdéh'' and in Santa Catarina Quioquitani it is ''Tiits Së'' , for example.〔Ward, Zurita Sánchez & Marlett (2008)〕 The first part of these expressions has the meaning 'word' (perhaps slightly reduced as appropriate for part of a compound).
