| The Penutian language group of Western America is related to the languages of the Maya and the Zoque of Mesoamerica. |
|
| The Zapotecs concluded an alliance with the Spaniards at contact, and they had already expanded their territory into Zoque and Huave regions. |
|
| In contrast to the Zapotecs, the Zoque generally declined as a group during the ranching boom, with interloping animals eating their maize crops. |
|
| The Olmec Zoque Route encompasses the municipalities of Cardenas and Huimanguillo. |
|
| There were differences in the three distinct linguistic and ethnic groups in colonial Tehuantepec, the Zapotec, the Zoque, and the Huave. |
|
| Words like the ones in show that NOCODA in is a violable constraint in Zoque because they contain a closed syllable. |
|
| As I noted in the preceding section, DEP-V is undominated in Zoque because the language does not have any epentheses at all. |
|
| The best known is La Venta, an Olmec site but another important one is Malpasito, which belongs to the Zoque culture. |
