Social:Cáhita
From HandWiki
Cahíta is a group of Indigenous peoples of Mexico, which includes the Yaqui and Mayo people. Numbering approximately 40,000,[1][needs update] they live in west coast of the states of Sonora and Sinaloa.[2]
Language
Their languages, the Yaqui and Mayo languages, form the Cáhitan branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family. They are agglutinative languages, where words use suffix complexes for a variety of purposes, with several morphemes strung together. The Cáhita population was drastically reduced by Spanish explorers during colonial times.[citation needed]
