According to Wichmann (1995), there are three divergent Mixean languages, and a Oaxacan branch that constitutes the bulk of the family: *[Oluta Popoluca](/source/Oluta_Popoluca) (Veracruz) *[Sayula Popoluca](/source/Sayula_Popoluca) (Veracruz) *[Tapachultec](/source/Tapachultec_language) (Chiapas, extinct) *[Mixe languages](/source/Mixe_languages) (Oaxaca, several languages - including Mixe or Ayöök) Tapachultec has been extinct since the 1930s, Olutec is moribund, and Sayultec is endangered. However, the different varieties of Mixe proper collectively maintain upwards of 100,000 speakers. ==Demographics== List of [ISO 639-3](/source/ISO_639-3) codes and demographic information of Mixean languages from ''[Ethnologue](/source/Ethnologue)'' (22nd edition):{{cite web |url=https://www.ethnologue.com/country/MX/languages |title=Mexico languages |work=[Ethnologue](/source/Ethnologue): Languages of the World |edition=22nd |editor1-last=Eberhard |editor1-first=David M. |editor2-last=Simons |editor2-first=Gary F. |editor3-last=Fennig |editor3-first=Charles D. |date=2019 |location=Dallas |publisher=[SIL International](/source/SIL_International)}} {| class="wikitable sortable" !
