Popoloca language

Popoloca language

Popoloca is the name of an indigenous Mexican language of the Popolocan branch of the Oto-Manguean linguistic family (which should not be confused with the Mexican languages called Popoluca). The closest relatives of Popoloca are the Chochotec, Mazatec and Ixcatec languages. The language is spoken by around 30,000 indigenous Popoloca people in seven villages in the south of Puebla near Tehuacán.

The Ethnologue counts seven distinct varieties of Popoloca:
*Popoloca de Mezontla
*Popoloca de Coyotepec
*Popoloca de Santa Inés Ahuatempan
*Popoloca de San Marcos Tlalcoyalco
*Popoloca de San Juan Atzingo
*Popoloca de San Felipe Otlaltepec
*Popoloca de San Luis Temalacayuca
