==Indigenous Groups of Jalisco== | |||
Jalisco has significant minority groups, including the Otomí. The Otomí represent 4 percent of Mexico's indigenous speakers; some of the Otomí moved north with the Spanish conquerors and settled in Jalisco. The Otomí language is part of the Oto-Manguean linguistic group; many Otomí assimilated into Spanish culture and so the numbers who preserved their native language in Jalisco are few. | |||
Another Jalisco group are the Huichol. The Huicholes represent less than a percent of the indigenous language speakers in Mexico; the majority live in Nayarit, with a significant group (36 percent) live in Jalisco.<ref>John P. Schmal, "Indigenous Languages of Mexico" (Mexconnect Mexico Culture and Arts, http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/3689-indigenous-languages-in-mexico).</ref> The Huicholes managed to survive and preserve their language in spite of war, disease, and intermarriage with the Spanish. | |||
