@@AbandonedMaine Well, the Zapotec language has been written since the pre-Columbian era. What I am doing is reviving the language through social media and my platform. With the alphabet that was created by the zapotec community . I as a grad student can help alongside with my peers create the alphabet visually good so we can share it to the community, most importantly to the kids.

The Wixárika people are one of Mexicos untouched people due to La Sierra Madre terrains, i got aunts & uncles that dont speak any spanish, only Wixárika. Been learning & i'll tell you it aint easy!
