Upper Necaxa Totonac is a native American language of central Mexico spoken by 3,400 people[3] in and around four villages— Chicontla, Patla, Cacahuatlán, and San Pedro Tlaloantongo —in the Necaxa River Valley in Northern Puebla State.[4] Although speakers represent the majority of the adult population in Patla and Cacahuatlán, there are very few monolinguals and few if any children are currently learning the language as a mother tongue,[5] and, as a consequence, the language must be considered severely endangered.
