Purepecha AKA P'urhépecha (Phorhé, Phorhépecha) is a language isolate or small language family spoken by more than 100,000
P'urhépecha people in the highlands of the Mexican state of Michoacán. Even though it is spoken within the boundaries of Mesoamerica
P'urhépecha does not share many of the traits defining the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area, probably due to a long adherence
to an isolationist policy. P'urhépecha was the main language of the pre-Columbian Tarascan state and became widespread in
north western Mexico during its heyday in the late post-classic period (~ 1400-1521). |
