The Tepecano language is an extinct indigenous language of Mexico belonging to the Uto-Aztecan language-family. It was formerly spoken by a small group of people in Azqueltán (earlier Atzqueltlán), Jalisco, a small village on the Río Bolaños in the far northern part of the state, just east of the territory of the Huichol people. Most closely related to Southern Tepehuán of the state of Durango, Tepecano was a Mesoamerican language and evinced many of the traits that define the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area. So far as is known, the last speaker of Tepecano was Lino de la Rosa (born September 22, 1895), who was still living as of February 1980.[1]

Research on Tepecano was first carried out by the American linguistic anthropologist John Alden Mason in Azqueltán from 1911 to 1913. This work led to the publication of a monographic grammatical sketch in 1916 as well as an article on native prayers in Tepecano that Mason had collected from informants in 1918. Later field-research was conducted by American linguist Dennis Holt in 1965 and from 1979 to 80, but none of his results have so far been published.[2]

Morphology

Tepecano is an agglutinative language, where words use suffix complexes for a variety of purposes with several morphemes strung together.

[ru] Тепекано

Тепекано (Tepecano) — мёртвый язык, принадлежащий к юто-ацтекской семье. На нём говорила небольшая группа народа в Аскельтан (ранее Ацкельтлан) штата Халиско, небольшой деревне в районе реки Боланьос в дальней северной части штата, к востоку от территории, где проживают уичоли. Язык наиболее тесно связан с южным диалектом языка тепеуа, распространённым в штате Дуранго. Тепекано был месоамериканским языком и продемонстрировал многие черты своего отношения к Месоамериканскому языковую союзу. Как известно до сих пор, последним носителем тепекано был Лино-де-ла-Роса (род. 22 сентября 1895 года), который всё ещё был жив по состоянию на февраль 1980 года.
