Tilapa Otomi
Tilapa Otomi is a seriously endangered native American language spoken by less than a dozen people in the village of Santiago Tilapa, between Toluca and the DF in Mexico State. It has been classified as Eastern Otomi by Lastra (2006).[1] but in reality "Eastern Otomi" in Lastra's classification is a broader term for a "conservative variety". It is a language closely related to Acazulco and Atlapulco Otomi. It also shows a number of idiosyncratic innovations which make it stand as a different language, probably the closest one to Colonial Otomi. Its system of verbal conjugations is highly complex compared to the Mezquital varieties.[3]

gollark: Is this in `esoserver.pyc`? I already apified it.
gollark: This really wasn't as hard as people seemed to imply, although that might just be hindsight bias as I did it and thus am familiar with it.
gollark: Very clever, me.
gollark: Which really was a great decision on my part, as this is my entry.
gollark: Oh. This isn't just "an ELF binary". This is coreutils base32!
