Cahitan languages

North American Language Families

The Cahitan languages are a branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family that comprises the Yaqui and the Mayo languages, both of northern Mexico. The branch has been considered part of the Taracahitic languages, but this is no longer considered a valid genetic unit. The poorly attested language of the Acaxee has also been considered Cahitan.
