Talk:Mixtec

The "alto" and "bajo" designations have to do with geography as well. Most of us refer to Highland and Lowland Mixtecs when speaking English. Although it must be said that the lowlands here are still very mountainous, only low in comparison to even higher elevations in the Mixteca Alta.

Mixtec in Puebla
While most Mixtec peoples live in the present-day state of Oaxaca, a sizeable number, perhaps 25% of this indigenous culture, reside in the Mexican State of Puebla.

You really need to put out some year or centuries, I dont have a clue when the Mixtecs civilization was when I am reading this article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Awakened82 (talk • contribs) 17:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Image
Ok - I was too quick in removing the image of the monte alban skull, of course it might be from the mixtec phase. However isn't the image of 8 Deer more appropriate?·Maunus· · ƛ · 19:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Corrections made to 2nd paragraph in first section
Corrections were made to the second paragraph in the first section because it was inaccurate. The subregions of the Mixteca are referred to in Spanish as Mixteca Alta, Baja and Coasta, not alto or bajo. Furthermore, these divisions are based on geography, not on an "economic caste" system. The people of the Baja were not poorer nor were the people of the Alta richer and higher in status. Both subregions had powerful urban settlements occupied by people of mixed statuses. Moreover, the Costa did not come under political control of the Mixtecs until the conquest of the area by Eight Deer and his armies. Thus, the language would not be more related to the people of the Baja but to the people of the Alta, since that is who settled there.
