Language Information

Mixtec is spoken in southern Mexico, in Oaxaca, Puebla, and Guerrero, and by many migrants in the United States, especially California.
Mixtec is a group of closely related Oto-Manguean languages with about 500,000 or more speakers. The ancient Mixtecs produced painted books (codices) recording their history, and their goldwork is among the finest of pre-Columbian America.
