*Totonaca. The Totonaca language is spoken by about 4 percent of the indigenous speakers in Mexico. It is not part of the Oto-Manguean language family and is not closely related to other native languages in Mexico. Half of all Totonaca speakers live in Veracruz, and 42 percent in Puebla.&nbsp;<br>
*Mazateco. Mazateco is spoken by 3.44 percent of Mexico's indigenous speakers; the majority (80 percent) live in Oaxaca, but significant numbers also reside in Puebla. It is part of the Oto-Manguean language group.
*Náhuatl. More than a million Mexicans speak one of 28 Náhuatl languages, making up about 23 percent of all indigenous speakers. 29 percent of Náhuatl speakers live in Puebla, although Náhuatl speakers can be found in every state in Mexico.<ref>John P.

In the early history of Mexico after the Spanish conquest, the spiritual leaders knew Latin, and where schools were established, Latin was a required subject. So you may find some Latin terms included in church records.

Hundreds of native languages and dialects existed although very few written records survived the European conquest. Of these the Náuatl language, spoken by the Aztecs of the Central Plateau region, is predominant, followed by the Mayan of the Yucatan Pennisula and Northern Central America. The Zapoteco, Mixteco, and Otomi languages, follow in importance.

In the early records a great many Indian words, especially names and localities, found their way into the Spanish language. Many of them were modified to make them more pronounceable to the Spanish conquerors.

Spanish phonetics may affect the way names appear in genealogical records. For example, the names of your ancestor may vary from record to record in Spanish. For help in understanding name variations, see [[Mexico Names, Personal]].
