Ayapa Zoque (Ayapaneco), or Tabasco Zoque, is a critically endangered Zoquean language of Ayapa, a village 10 km southeast of Comalcalco, in Tabasco, Mexico. The native name is Nuumte Oote "True Voice".[2] A vibrant, albeit minority, language until the middle of the 20th century, the language suffered after the introduction of compulsory education in Spanish, urbanisation, and migration of its speakers.[2][3] Nowadays there are approximately 15 speakers whose ages range from 67 to 90.[4] In 2010 a story started circulating that the last two speakers of the Ayapaneco language were enemies and no longer talked to each other.[2] The story was incorrect, and while it was quickly corrected it came to circulate widely.[5]

Daniel Suslak, an assistant professor of anthropology at Indiana University, is one of the linguists working to prepare the first dictionary of the language.[2][6][7][8] Since 2012, the Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas (INALI, also known as the National Indigenous Languages Institute) has been supporting the Ayapa community's efforts at revitalising their language.[2] In 2013 Vodafone launched an advertisement campaign in which they claimed to have helped the community revitalize the language, proposing an erroneous story of enmity between Don Manuel and Don Isidro. The commercial appeared on YouTube.[9] According to Suslak and other observers the actual help provided to Ayapan and the Ayapaneco language by Vodafone was extremely limited and did not address the actual necessities of the community.[5][10][11] A PhD dissertation on Ayapa Zoque at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (INALCO) appeared in 2019,[12] and an orthography designed to better facilitate the development of pedagogical materials and education of new learners is under development.[13]

[es] Idioma ayapaneco

El ayapaneco es una lengua indígena de México,[1][2][3] pertenece a la familia de las lenguas mixe-zoqueanas. Hacia el año 2011 se afirmaba que contaba con sus dos últimos hablantes en Jalpa de Méndez, Tabasco.[4][5][6] Posteriormente se pudo confirmar que esta información era falsa y que existían más hablantes.[7] De acuerdo a datos recientes, se cree que existen alrededor de 21 personas que practican el idioma, la mayoría de ellos de la tercera edad,[8][9][10] por lo que su estatus sería como una lengua amenazada. Daniel Suslak, profesor adjunto de antropología en la Universidad de Indiana, es uno de los lingüistas que trabaja para preparar el primer diccionario de la lengua.[11][12] El Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas también ha mostrado su interés en la revitalización de la lengua y ha organizado algunos cursos y festivales en Ayapa.[11] Desde 2013 se encuentra en preparación la primera tesis de doctorado dedicada al ayapaneco en el Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO) en Francia.[13]
