Mexico has 68 Indigenous Languages

“Thousands of students in California schools speak Indigenous languages from Mexico and Central America, although the exact number is unclear because not all languages are reported or tracked. Families often face communication barriers because of schools’ failure to provide interpreters and a lack of understanding about Indigenous cultures.

Mexico has 68 Indigenous languages, said Vasquez, who is from a Zapotec-speaking family. For the schools to not even know that we speak different languages, that creates a sense of frustration. — EdSource
