<b>Description:</b>
 
Tlapanec is a Mexican indigenous language spoken by around 75,000 Tlapanec people in the states of Guerrero and Morelos. Like other Oto-Manguean languages, it is tonal and has complex inflectional morphology. The Tlapanec themselves call their language Me'phaa.
Tlapanec was long regarded as unclassified. Later it was connected to Subtiaba of Nicaragua, and once linked to the controversial Hokan language family. More recent analyses have now definitively linked Tlapanec to the Oto-Manguean linguistic family, of which it forms its own subgroup along with the extinct and very closely related Subtiaba language.
Although originally from Guerrero, some Tlapanec speakers have recently settled in the state of Morelos near Chinameca.
Ethnologue lists four principal varieties of Tlapanec:
Others, including native speakers, identify as many as eight major dialects.
The Azoyú variety is the only natural language reported to have used the Pegative case.
Tlapanec-language programming is carried by the CDI's radio station XEZV-AM, broadcasting from Tlapa de Comonfort, Guerrero.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=7058875 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
