I show that Teojomulco Chatino is the most divergent Chatino language, a sister to the most recent reconstructions of Proto-Chatino (Campbell 2013), and that it has traits not found elsewhere in Chatino, including Zapotec-like stem-initial prominence, nasalization of penultimate vowels, and a unique analogue of the Proto-Zapotecan *kwe= proclitic. Lexical evidence suggests that Teojomulco Chatino has undergone significant contact with Zapotec languages. Based on this data, I propose a revised picture of the historical development of the Chatino branch of the Zapotecan languages.

Chatino UT phenomena are often non-local, with tones appearing words after their original hosts or being linked out of the influence of the tones on preceding words. This paper describes the UT phenomena and their distribution across the Chatino languages.

Se notan algunas diferencias entre esta imagen de la lengua y la que presentan los trabajos de Joseph Benton, principal entre ellos es el aparentemente libre variación en el uso de pronombres dependientes o independientes para indicar el posesor de un sustantivo frente al estado actual en que se prefieren o se exigen pronombres dependientes.

Las palabras mixtecas provienen del mixteco de San Pedro Tututepec y representan un pequeño vocabulario del idioma como se hablaba al principio del siglo XX. El presente papel presenta las transcripciones de Belmar junto con mis interpretaciones de las mismas con el fin de avisar a investigadores de esta fuente de datos y ayudar a los estudios diacrónicos y comparativos de los idiomas mixtecas.
