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. | Jalisco has significant minority groups, including the Otomí.
