Abstract: A few remaining elder speakers of the San Juan Quiahije Chatino language (Oaxaca, Mexico) have unique command of specialized words, expressions, and grammatical features that relate to local landscapes and nature specific activities. In a moment marked by rapid decline of indigenous languages, this area of language undergoes swifter deterioration than any other. This poster displays a methodology that aids in the study of landscape specific language. Documentation and dissemination of collective knowledge alongside use of specialized place-based expressions highlights scholarly-community collaboration in indigenous language revitalization, and outlines my journey on foot with inhabitants of the San Juan Quiahije landscape.
