Hi everyone, I'm from the mixteca baja, grew up in Juxtlahuaca and have lived in USA for about 30 years, I speak Mixtec in the dialect of San Juan Mixtepec, although I rarely get to speak the language. When I was living in Juxtlahuaca I could speak and understand the dialect of the neighboring towns but I feel that I have forgotten now. I would like to learn more about my heritage and learn to write in the Mixtec language, if you have anything interesting to add please do so.

Hello, I am also the son of a Oaxacan woman. I was born in the states and have only visited San Juan Mixtepec Once. I too would love to learn more about my mother's heritage.

Hi, My name is Kevin Lopez-Gomez. I was actually born in Mexico City, but I am from San Juan Mixtepec. I grew up in America and spoke Mixteco growing up. From my understanding of the language, if you follow this link: mixtec.sdsu.edu/language.html and scroll all the way to the bottom. The website claims that the translation of "What is your name?" is "Nixi nani meu?" for San Juan Mixtepec. Though growing up I would say "Nixi nanu?" when speaking to someone of my age or "Nixi nanini?" when speaking to an older person to show respect. So this is my conclusion; either I grew up speaking a different variation of Mixteco from San Juan Mixtepec, that there are multiple San Juan Mixtepecs, this website has a lot of error, or a combination of thereof. |

Hi everyone! My name is Xóchitl! Both my parents are Mixtec and they are from Santiago Tamazola! Sadly my Grandmother on my mom's side and Grandfather on my father's side were the only remaining people who can speak Mixteco. Due to colonization and force of religion I actually cannot speak or understand Mixteco. Although I want to reclaim my identity and learn how! Would love to engage in discussion!  |

I also found many inconsistencies. I speak mixteco and found some of the translations were close but not like what I'm used to. I can understand people from san Juan mixtepec but these translations seemed off. I understand the way you say you those two phrases especially the differences in asking someone older and your age. |

I work at Migrant Head Start in northern California and I'd like to learn more about Mixteco child rearing practices so our childcare providers can create a smoother transtion for the young children in our care.

I'm really glad that I found this forum for mixtec.sdsu.edu/language.html. I will keep this site in mind. I speak Spanish, but hoping to find some good resources to learn Mixteco online being I have some friends who speak it. learnanet.com |
