Comaltepec Chinantec New Testament (CCOTBL)

Overview

Comaltepec Chinantec is a Highland Chinantec variety spoken by roughly 2,200 people in Santiago Comaltepec and surrounding towns in the “mist forests” of the Sierra Juarez mountains of northern Oaxaca, Mexico; it is only marginally intelligible with neighbouring Quiotepec Chinantec. This language’s tone system is one of the most complex yet known. The special tone characters in this language require one of the SIL fonts for proper viewing. Charis SIL can be downloaded for free from scripts.sil.org, and it may be necessary to adjust browser settings to ensure this font is used.
