This project has the vision of being able to preserve and teach in a didactic way the Ngigua language, based on the development of software and current technologies, we present this project as a learning alternative.

Currently we work with the language of the Popoloca language, which this time is the Ngigua of San Marcos Tlacoyalco, Puebla, it should be noted that there are other dialects of this beautiful language, in different indigenous peoples of the state of Puebla, therefore one of the objectives This project is not only to work with this Tlacoyalco dialect, but to be able to preserve the different variants of the Popoloca, as an example the Popoloca de los Reyes Metzontla, of San Juan Atzingo among others, in order to preserve and teach the new generations his mother tongue in a more didactic way, without some lucrative purpose.

The indigenous Popoloca language is a tonal language of the Ottoman language family, so its grammar is very extensive and until now there is no final information on it, but it is constantly updated.

The research obtained from the vocabulary, grammar and information in general of the application were provided by Mexican and foreign authors who conducted for years even decades of years of continuous research on this variant of the Ngigua of San Marcos Tlacoyalco thanking all collaborators as UNTI (National Union of Indigenous Translators) and ILV (Summer Institute of Linguistics) in general that carried out this arduous task and that thanks to this we can provide information based on years of continuous research, without your contribution this project would be impossible. Thank you.

Let's help shape our future and save our past, enjoy the application.
