The Mazatecan languages are a group of closely Oto-Manguean languages spoken by about 200,000 people in the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Puebla and Veracruz. This group of languages is often referred to as a single language called Mazatec, though the different varieties of Mazatecan are not mutually intelligible.
Mazatecan languages are tonal and there are forms of whistle speech used in Mazatecan communities.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.
