Everything about Tepehu N totally explained
The
Tepehuán (
Tepehuanes or
Tepehuanos) are an indigenous ethnic group in northwest Mexico, whose villages at the time of Spanish conquest spanned a large territory along the Sierra Madre Occidental from Chihuahua and Durango in the north to Jalisco in the south. The southern Tepehuán community included an isolated settlement (
Azqueltán) in the middle of
Huichol territory in the Bolaños River canyon. The southern Tepehuán were historically referred to as Tepecanos.
The
Tepehuán languages are part of the
Uto-Aztecan linguistic family, within which it's grouped with
O'odham to form the
Piman family.
The name is pronounced tepe'wan, and is often spelled
Tepehuan without the accent in English language publications. This can cause confusion with the languages called
Tepehua (
tePEwa), which are collectively referred to as Tepehuan (
tePEwan). They are spoken on the other side of Mexico, and are closely related to
Totonac and not at all to Tepehuán. The names of both groups come from
Nahuatl and mean 'mountain dwellers' or 'mountain people'.
