At least two percent of Durango's population speak an indigenous language. 80 percent of those belong to the Tepehuan, a group native to Durango.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durango#Demographics</ref> Other smaller groups include the Huichol and the Mexicaneros; both groups speak variations of the native language Nahuatl. Durango is also home to a small percentage of Tarahumara. The Tarahumara make their home base in the isolation of the Sierra Madre in Chihuahuañ but smaller numbers of them inhabit the neighboring Durango as well. Other non-Spanish speakers of Durango are the German-speaking Mennonites who live in small farming communities throughout the state; they number about 20,000. | At least two percent of Durango's population speak an indigenous language. 80 percent of those belong to the Tepehuan, a group native to Durango.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Durango," ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durango#Demographics, accessed 23 July 2025.</ref> Other smaller groups include the Huichol and the Mexicaneros; both groups speak variations of the native language Nahuatl.
