The Mixtecan languages constitute a branch of the Oto-Manguean language family of Mexico, including the Trique languages, spoken by about 24,500 people, Cuicatec, spoken by about 15,000 people, and the large expanse of Mixtec languages, spoken by about 511,000 people. The relationship between Trique, Cuicatec and Mixtec remains an open question, though unpublished research by Terrence Kaufman in the 1980s supported grouping Cuicatec and Mixtec together.
