Mixtec
Through our collaboration with the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), another Title VI Center, Mixtec language resources and cultural artifacts are being collected and added to LARC’s resources for teaching and learning.
Mixtec Language & Culture
Mixtec is one of eight branches of the Otomanguean language family, a family accounting for about a third of all the indigenous language speakers in Mexico today. It is spoken primarily in the state of Oaxaca, but there are significant groups of Mixtec speakers in the states of Puebla and Guerrero. In addition, migration has had the effect of creating significant Mixtec communities in the U.S., primarily in California. The Mixtec Language & Culture project is an online trilingual website that uses Spanish and English to present the cultural differences of greeting people in Mixtec. It offers some basic grammar, translations and transcriptions for these video resources.
