12. Indigenous Language

This information is collected with three questions. The first is to find out if the person speaks a dialect or indigenous language and you should always ask it even when you believe that in your area of work indigenous languages are not spoken. If the person speaks one, ask the name of the language and write it down; if you do not know how it is spelled, write it as it sounds; with the third question find out if the person also speaks Spanish.

[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form]

Foreign languages, such as English, French, Italian, or others, are not indigenous languages.
In a case in which they respond Chontal, ask if it is from Oaxaca or from Tabasco and write down the answer.
