The
Indigenous Community of Mazahua
Spanish
Her son,
Maximilliano
A
Mix of Languages
I have nine children. Three are married, three are in school outside
of this community, and three are still in school here in El Tigre.
Maximilliano (6), Franciso (8), and Gilberto (11) are losing the ability
to fully communicate in Mazahua as in school they are required to
learn Spanish and later on English. This makes me sad, to see that
they are "too proud" to learn their ancestral language.
