Mixtec
The Mixtecs ( MIS-teks, MISH-) or Mixtecos (Spanish pronunciation: [misˈtekos] – from Nahuatl mixtēcatl [miʃteːkatɬ]; Mixtec: ñuudzahui 'people of Dzahui') are Indigenous Mesoamerican peoples of Mexico inhabiting the region known as La Mixteca of Oaxaca and Puebla as well as La Montaña Region and Costa Chica Regions of the state of Guerrero. The Mixtec culture was the main Mixtec civilization, which lasted from around 1500 BCE until being conquered by the Spanish in 1523 CE. The Mixtec region is generally divided into three subregions based on geography: the Mixteca Alta (Upper Mixtec or Ñuu Savi Sukun), the Mixteca Baja (Lower Mixtec or Ñuu I'ni), and the Mixteca Costa (Coastal Mixtec or Ñuu Andivi).
