The Mixe or Mije (always pronounced [‘mihe] ) is an indigenous group inhabiting the eastern highlands of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. They speak the Mixe languages which are classified in the Mixe–Zoque family and are more culturally conservative than other indigenous groups of the region maintaining their language to this day. A population figure of 90000 speakers of Mixe were estimated by SIL international in 1993.
