class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The collective was founded in <em>2019<\/em> by a group of university students, including <em>Rayo Cruz<\/em>, who is a Zapotec teacher and a master\u2019s student in Applied Linguistics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The group emerged from a long history of involvement in community communication and indigenous education.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Their mission is to <em>revitalize and strengthen the Zapotec language<\/em> (Didza Xidza) by creating new speakers and ensuring its survival in the digital age. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They aim to make the language visible online and foster pride in Zapotec identity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p

specifically works with the Zapotec variant spoken in the Rinc\u00f3n region, known as <em>Didza Xidza<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This variant is part of the broader Zapotec language family, which includes over 50 distinct dialects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They emphasize the importance of using their <em>autonym<\/em> (self-designation) <em>Xidza<\/em> rather than the externally imposed term \u00abZapoteco del Rinc\u00f3n,\u00bb asserting their cultural and linguistic identity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The collective offers Zapotec language courses, both in-person and online, designed for beginners and advanced learners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These courses focus on teaching Zapotec as a <em>second language<\/em>, using interactive methods like games, songs, and digital tools such as Kahoot and Quizlet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They have developed a <em>basic Zapotec course<\/em> consisting of 20 sessions, offered twice a year (spring and autumn). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Over <em>200 students<\/em> have graduated from the program since its inception in 2020.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Digital Activism<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">B\u00ebni Xidza leverages <em>social media platforms<\/em> (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) and <em>digital tools<\/em> to promote the Zapotec language. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They create educational content, including videos, podcasts, and webinars, to reach a global audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Their YouTube channel serves as a repository for learning materials, including pronunciation guides, cultural discussions, and recorded

like <em>Activismo Digital en Lenguas Ind\u00edgenas<\/em> (Digital Activism in Indigenous Languages).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Cultural Preservation<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Beyond language, the collective promotes <em>Zapotec culture<\/em> through storytelling, literature, and historical discussions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They highlight the works of Zapotec writers and poets, such as <em>Irma Pineda<\/em> and <em>Natalia
