The Mazatecan languages are a group of closely related indigenous languages spoken by some 200000 people in the area known as La Sierra Mazateca which is located in the northern part of the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico as well as in adjacent areas of the states of Puebla and Veracruz.The group is often described as a single language called Mazatec but because several varieties are not mutually intelligible they are better described as a group of languages.
