The Matlatzincan languages are a pair of closely related branches of the Oto-Manguean language family in the Oto-Pamean group, spoken in Central Mexico: Tlahuica/Ocuiltec in one and Matlatzinca-Pirinda in the other. They were variously understood as a single macrolanguage or as two distinct languages, and today most linguistsScript error: No such module "Unsubst". and speakers consider them to be separate. Both Matlatzinca and Tlahuica are moribund, and Pirinda went fully extinct in 1936.[1]

In 2003, together with 67 other languages, Matlatzinca was recognised as an official language of Mexico[2] as an official language on equal footing with Spanish.
