Clases de Zapoteco para principiantes

Where can I learn Zapotec as a second language?

Rayo Cruz offers online Zapotec language courses aimed at adults wanting to learn Zapotec as a second language, involving 20 hours of interactive activities over Zoom with resources on YouTube. Despite challenges due to the lack of teaching materials for this indigenous language, 200 students have completed the basic course with further levels planned. The courses, designed for both heritage and non-heritage speakers, are supported by collaborative organizations, reflecting Rayo’s commitment to promoting and preserving Zapotec culture. Interested participants are invited to register and follow the initiative on social media.

Padiuxhi! Un saludo en Zapoteco para todas y todos

En Zapoteco usamos la palabra PADIUXH para saludar. Se usa por igual en la mañana, en la tarde o en la noche. Decimo PADIUXH para Buenos días, Buenas tardes y buenas noches… Hay personas que dicen que esta palabra es una corrupción del español PADRE DIOS; sin embargo, en Zapoteco del Rincón Dios es Bdoo’o y Padre es Dada o Xuza’ (de hecho, es muy común escuchar la expresión Xusro’ Dios, o sea Dios Padre).
