It consists of several distinct languages and dialects, which are part of the larger Oto-Manguean language family. The Mixtec languages are known for their complex tonal systems and rich oral traditions. Speakers of Mixtec languages are often found in rural communities, where they maintain their cultural heritage. The languages are used in daily life, rituals, and storytelling, contributing to the preservation of Mixtec culture. Efforts are ongoing to promote and revitalize these languages in the face of globalization and language shift.
