The Mixteco de Tlazoyaltepec audio scripture resource produced by the Unión Nacional de Traductores Indígenas A.C. (UNTI) brings the Word of God to speakers of the Tlazoyaltepec variety of Mixtec, an Oto-Manguean language of Oaxaca, Mexico. Mixtec, Tlazoyaltepec (ISO 639-3: mqh) is spoken by approximately 4,900 people in the Santiago Tlazoyaltepec municipality of Oaxaca's Mixteca Alta region, with an additional diaspora community in the Maneadero area south of Ensenada, Baja California. [1] The Mixtec language family contains dozens of closely related but mutually unintelligible varieties spread across the highlands of Oaxaca and Guerrero, and each community requires scripture in its own distinct vernacular. UNTI is a Mexican indigenous-led translation organization that has worked to produce audio and text scripture for multiple Mixtec varieties, and the Bible.is platform enables distribution of these recordings to Mixtec-speaking believers both in Oaxaca and in migrant communities.
