Miguel Barrios Espinoza

[magnus hansen]

Hello Listeros

I am currently working on a project describing the history of Hueyapan,
Morelos (and the rest of the municipium of Tetela del Volcán) in the
twentieth century. I really want to include a section on Miguel Barrios
Espinoza native linguist and teacher of Hueyapan. Particularly I am
interested in any information about his connection to Kenneth Croft, who
according to Friedlanders book about Hueyapan trained him in linguistics and
used him as a consultant in his study of Matlapa Nahuatl. I would like to
know more about this and if it is possible include some kind of concrete
evidence of the connection between the two - preferably references to
documents or published sources.

Any help you might be able to give me will be greatly appreciated - and may
help preserve the memory of a nearly forgotten native linguist who did a lot
to document the indigenous tongue of his native community.

*Hola Listeros. Estoy trabajando en un proyecto de documentacion de la
historia del municipio de Tetela del Volcán, Morelos. Quisiera incluir en
ello una sección sobre el maestro y lingüísta nativo de Hueyapan, Miguel
Barrios Espinoza. Sobre todo me interesa su posible connección con el
lingüista norteamericano, Kenneth Croft. Segun el libro de Friedlander sobre
el pueblo de Hueyapan Croft entrenó a Barrios como lingüísta y le utilizó
como consultante o interprete en su estudio del náhuatl de Matlapa.
Cualquier información o documentación que me podrían proporcionar sobre
Miguel Barrios Espinoza o Kenneth Croft será muy apreciado. Asi tambien
podrán ayudar a conservar la memoría de un lingüísta dedicado que hizo mucho
para conservar su idioma indigena*
