Dialects

[edit]

Egland & Bartholomew[2] found four dialects which have ca. 80% mutual intelligibility with each other, spoken in the following towns:

  • (San Juan) Ñumí, (Santiago) Nunduchi, (San Sebastián) Nicananduta
  • (San Antonio) Monteverde
  • (Santo Tomás) Ocotepec
  • (San Bartolomé) Yucuañe

Yucuañe is no longer being passed on to children.
