Tlapanec is an indigenous Mexican language spoken by more than 98000 Tlapanec people in the state of Guerrero. Like other Oto-Manguean languages it is tonal and has complex inflectional morphology. The Tlapanec themselves currently refer to their language using the adjective Me’phaa [meʔpʰaː].Before much information was known about it Tlapanec (sometimes written Tlappanec in earlier publications) was either considered unclassified or linked to the controversial Hokan language family.
