Sociological Linguistics

[Rick Mc Callister]

Meso-America:
Chorotega, Mangue in Nicaragua, NW Costa Rica (extinct maybe in the late 1800s)
Otomi/ north of Mexico DF (still spoken)
and I think Zapotec & Mixtec are also Oto-Manguean
maybe Mixe-Zoque? (SE Mexico, postulated to have been spoken by the Olmecs)
so maybe Proto-O-M was spoken c. 3rd millenium BCE in states of Tabasco &
Oaxaca?
