Other comments: Isthmus-Mecayapan Nahuatl or Melaꞌtájto̱l is spoken by approximately 26,000 (2000 INALI) speakers in Veracruz state: Mecayapan municipality, Mecayapan and Tatahuicapan towns, Mexico. Isthmus-Mecayapan Nahuatl does not retain much of the traditional system of numbering. Spanish is sometimes used even for the lower numbers indicated and always for 6 and up. (Efforts on the part of local bilingual school teachers may succeed in reintroducing the traditional system to a limited extent. Information for this effort comes from areas to the north, not from older, local speakers). For five 'mano' is a Spanish loanword for 'hand'.
