Tlapanec is an indigenous Mexican language spoken by more than 98,000 Tlapanec people in the state of Guerrero. Like other Oto-Manguean languages, it is tonal and has complex inflectional morphology. The Tlapanec themselves currently refer to their language using the adjective Me'phaa [meʔpʰaː meʔpʰaː]. Before much information was known about it, Tlapanec (sometimes written Tlappanec in earlier publications) was either considered unclassified or linked to the controversial Hokan language family. It is now definitively considered part of the Oto-Manguean language family, of which it forms its own branch along with the extinct and very closely related Subtiaba language of Nicaragua. Me'phaa people temporarily move to other locations, including Mexico City, Morelos and various locations in the United States, for reasons of work.
