Midland a.k.a. Central Mixe is a Mixe language spoken in Mexico. According to Wichmann (1995), there are two groups of dialects:
- North
- Jaltepec, Puxmetecán, Atitlán, Matamoros, Cotzocón
- South
- Juquila, Cacalotepec
Ethnologue lists Mixistlán as well, but Wichmann counts that as Tlahuitoltepec Mixe.
A new variety of Midland Mixe has been recently documented in the village of San Juan Bosco Chuxnabá in San Miguel Quetzaltepec municipality, Oaxaca by Carmen Jany and other linguists.[3][4][5]
