  "As of 2005, 93.7%% of the population of five years and older in Ayutla speaks Mixe, of
  which 23%% (around 900) are monolingual speakers of Mixe. Even though those figures alone do not seem dramatic, this contrasts with the situation fifty years earlier, when 84%% of the population was monolingual and only 15%% was bilingual . . . According to the 1900 census, all people spoke Mixe in Ayutla."

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

"Ayutla is on the road from Oaxaca City to the Mixe area, and it is the first Mixe community one encounters when heading that way. Ayutla is about 43 miles from Oaxaca City in a straight line on the map, but the trip takes around two and half hours by car."
