It is therefore included in the territory of the latter on the map, and should be classified, as has been said, as a dialect of the Totonac. Meztitlaneca This language, which belongs to the Xahuatlan family, appears to be a dialect of the Aztec, and its area is included by Orozco y Berra in his Mexicano, without any reference to the fact in his text.
