Mazatecan languages (Ha Shuta Enima) is an indigenous language in Mexico or a group of closely related to each other languages, spoken by the ethnic group of the Mazatec . It belongs to the family of Otomangue languages.
According to the 2010 census, Mazatec is spoken by around 230,000 people, particularly in the north of the state of Oaxaca and a small number in the states of Puebla and Veracruz . Due to the geographical fragmentation of the language area, there are widely differing regional variants. SIL International divides Mazatec into eight individual languages.
