The Mixtec languages are a group of indigenous languages spoken primarily in the Mixteca region of southern Mexico. They belong to the Oto-Manguean language family and are known for their complex tonal systems, which can change the meaning of words based on pitch. There are several distinct varieties of Mixtec, reflecting the diverse communities that speak them. Mixtec languages are used by the Mixtec people, who have a rich cultural heritage and history. Efforts are being made to preserve and promote these languages, as many speakers are bilingual in Spanish. The languages play a crucial role in the identity and traditions of the Mixtec communities.
