Languages and cultures of present-day Mexico: traditional names
This website is organized primarily according to language families. Some families group together into larger families, which are sometimes called language stocks, so there are also links to information about the stocks.
This particular page links some traditional names for languages in Mexico with the language family and stock to which they belong. More information can be found on the corresponding family and stock pages.
