The Indigenous Community of Mazahua Spanish  Mala shows her "mapee" (bolsa), which is made by hand. Yet I know they can still understand it when I speak to them. As for the older ones, they remember more. My grandparents did not speak any Spanish. The people outside of this community, who don't wear the typical dress of kay-jeah and faja (flared skirts with hand-stitched petticoats and cloth belts), are considered "castellanos" as they only speak Spanish.
