The Mixtec (/ˈmiːstɛk, ˈmiːʃtɛk/)[2] languages belong to the Mixtecan group of the Oto-Manguean language family. Mixtec is spoken in Mexico and is closely related to Trique and Cuicatec. The varieties of Mixtec are spoken by over half a million people.[3][4] Identifying how many Mixtec languages there are in this complex dialect continuum poses challenges at the level of linguistic theory. Depending on the criteria for distinguishing dialects from languages, there may be as few as a dozen[5] or as many as fifty-three Mixtec languages.[6]
