Other comments: Zapotec Guevea de Humboldt (Didz-rieꞌ) or Guevea Zapotec, Northern Isthmus Zapotec is spoken by approximately 4,700 speakers in Northern Isthmus area

Oaxaca state, Mexico. Zapotec Guevea de Humboldt has a vigesimal system. 800 is expressed by: šun1 ga1yuʔ3

Notes:

Stress is on final syllable of charted words.

    Tones are marked following syllable:  1=high, 2=low, 3= rising (low to high)

    The segments N (as in /ʦoN2/) and L (as in /gaL2/ ) represent fortis (phonetically

     double length) consonants.

     ʔ indicates glottal interruption of vowel.  With low tone, a vowel echo is optional

    or slight with a phonetic falling tone.  With rising tone, the echo is obligatory,

    voiced and higher than preceding the glottal (phonetically steps from low to high).

    h indicates aspiration of the preceding vowel. In certain environments not present

    in the numerals, it occurs with an echo of the vowel, voiced or voiceless according

    to the environment.

   The lack of vowel aspiration /h/ in the number 12 is an anomaly which is correct

    (not a typo).  I.e., /ʦipy1čop1/ is correct, not */ʦipy1čohp1/.

    y indicates the suprasemental: palatalization (which affects pronunciation of the

    preceding consonant and usually also the vowel preceding the palatalized

    consonant).

    Zapotec numbers 1-12, 20 and the hundreds (100, 200, 300, etc) are commonly used.

    Zapotec for 15 (ʦiny1) is used only in a frozen phrase meaning ‘2 weeks’. 

    Otherwise, Spanish loans are used, including for 1-12 of telling the hour in time-

    telling. 

   Numbers borrowed from Spanish are always pronounced with Guevea Zapotec

   pronunciation and tone patterns.
