The language is spoken in four villages on theIsthmus of Tehuantepec, in the southeast of the state, by around 18,000 people (see table below). The Huave people ofSan Mateo del Mar, who call themselvesIkoots, meaning “us,” refer to their language asombeayiits,meaning “our language”. In San Francisco del Mar, the corresponding terms areKunajts(“us”) andumbeyajts(“our language”). The term “Huave” is thought to come from theZapotec languages, meaning “people who rot in the humidity”, according to the 17th-century Spanish historianBurgoa. However, Martnez Gracida (1888) claims the meaning of the term means ‘many people’ in Isthmus Zapotec, interpretinghuaas “abundant” andbeas a shortened form ofbinni(“people”). The etymology of the term requires further investigation. Neither of the above etymologies is judged plausible by Isthmus Zapotec speakers.HuaveOmbeayiits,UmbeyajtsNativetoMexicoRegionOaxacaEthnicityHuave peopleNative speakers18,000(2010 census)Language familyLanguage isolateLanguage codesISO 639-3Variously:hueSan Francisco del MarhuvSan Mateo del MarhveSan Dionisio del MarhvvSanta Mara del Mar, OaxacaGlottologhuav1256
