Ixtlán Zapotec is a Zapotec dialect cluster of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Varieties share about 80% mutual intelligibility.[1] They are:
- Yareni (Western Ixtlán, Etla Zapotec), spoken in Santa Ana Yareni.[2]
- Atepec (Macuiltianguis Zapotec), spoken in San Juan Atepec and San Pablo Macuiltianguis.
- Central Ixtlan
- Sierra de Juárez
Yavesía Zapotec (Southeastern Ixtlán) is somewhat more divergent.
Yareni Zapotec speakers can communicate with speakers of related Zapotec variants in the towns of Teococuilco de Marcos Pérez, San Miguel Aloapam, and San Isidro Aloápam (Aloápam Zapotec).[2]
