Language of Indigenous Description
DescriptionThe Zoque Dialect Survey was planned by Roberto Zavala, and Terrence Kaufman as part of the Project for the Documentation of the Languages of MesoAmerica in 2010. The questionnaire for this dialect survey was based on the Linguistic questionnaire for dialect variation research on the languages of Guatemala (Kaufman 1970-1971) and the Linguistic questionnaire for dialect variation research on the Totonac language (Kaufman, McKay and Trechsel, 1994).

The Zoque languages is a subgroup of the Mixe-Zoquean family of languages spoken in southern Mexico. The Zoque Dialect Survey concerns itself only with the Chiapas Zoque, Jitotoltec, and Oaxaca Zoque languages and does not contain material related to the Gulf Zoquean languages of Soteapan, Ayapa, or Texistepec. The language varieties represented in this collection have been assigned the following ISO 639-3 codes by Ethnologue:
  • zoh Zoque, Chimalapa
  • zoc Zoque, Copainalá
  • zos Zoque, Francisco León
  • zor Zoque, Rayón

These materials were given to AILLA by Terrence Kaufman for digitization and preservation in 2012. Most of these materials were on compact disks, and the original number of each disk can be found in the source note field on this collection's resources. After processing, physical media was returned to Kaufman beginning in May 2018.

The collection consists of 30 folders containing 331 audio recordings in WAV or MP3 format, 1 document containing a blank survey questionnaire and 784 images of the towns and people represented in the survey.

29 folders contain all the media (audio, and images) associated with a single set of responses to the dialect survey or metalinguistic interview, though a few long questionnaires are split across two folders. One folder contains a blank copy of the questionnaire used for this project. Many folders contain photographs of the community studied in each questionnaire, however, the subjects of these photographs are not identified, and most of the images are blurry. As of July 2018, there are no transcriptions of any survey responses in the collection.

Interactive Google maps showing locations of languages present in this and other Terrence Kaufman collections in AILLA are available
