Atatláhuca–San Miguel Mixtec is a diverse Mixtec language of Oaxaca.

Dialects

[edit]

Egland & Bartholomew[2] found six dialects (with > ≈80% internal intelligibility) which had about 70% mutual intelligibility with each other:

  • San Esteban Atatláhuca [mib] + Santa Lucía Monteverde [mdv]
  • Molinos
  • Itundujía [mce]
  • Yosondúa [mpm] + San Miguel el Grande + Chalcatongo [mig]
  • Yolotepec [xtt]
  • Teita [xtj]

Ethnologue notes that two additional varieties Egland & Bartholomew had not looked at, Sinicahua [xti] and Tijaltepec [xtl], are about as similar.
