TLATEPUZCO CHINANTEC
Chinantecan is a Mesoamerican language family of the Oto-Manguean stock that comprises fourteen different languages spoken to the north of the state of Oaxaca, in Southern Mexico. Tlatepuzco Chinantec is the Chinantec language spoken by about 25,000 people in diaspora of the village of San Pedro Tlatepuzco, Oaxaca. The community was forced to move to different locations around their original settlement when a storm hit the village of San Pedro Tlatepuzco in 1928 and destroyed it. The language is also known as Palantla Chinantec, because an important part of the linguistic community relocated to San Juan Palantla.
