The Pame language is an indigenous language of Mexico spoken by around 10,000 Pame people in the state of San Luis Potosí.
The Pame language belongs to the Oto-Pamean branch of the Oto-manguean linguistic family. The Ethnologue counts two living
varieties of Pame: Central Pame http://www. ethnologue. com/show_language. asp?code=pbs spoken in the town of Santa María
Acapulco, and Northern Pame http://www. ethnologue. com/show_language. asp?code=pmq spoken in communities from the north of
Río Verde to the border with Tamaulipas. Pame languages are tonal and distinguish high and low level tones and a high-low
contour tone(Suaréz 1983, pg 51). Pame has an octal (base-8) counting system, as the Pame keep count by using the four spaces
between their fingers rather than the fingers themselves. Pame-language programming is carried by the CDI's radio station
XEANT-AM, based in Tancanhuitz de Santos, San Luis Potosí. |
