Chayuco Mixtec (also known as Eastern Jamiltepec-Chayuco Mixtec or Mechoán Mixtec) is an Oto-Manguean language spoken in the Mixteca de la Costa (coastal Mixtec lowlands) region of Oaxaca, Mexico, in communities including San Agustin Chayuco, Santa Catarina Mechoacán, Santiago Jamiltepec, and San Andres Huaxpaltepec [2][3].
