Definition

  • Zapotitlán de Méndez Totonac is a native American language spoken in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, Mexico. One of the Totonacan languages, it is also known as Totonaco de la Sierra ( Sierra Totonac) or Highland Totonac, although these terms are now recognized by specialists to refer to a larger group of languages spoken in the surrounding areas of Puebla and Veracruz. The language is best-known through the work of the late Herman “Pedro” Aschmann who produced a small dictionary and several academic articles on the language.
