This is important to have in mind, because governmental and academic publications often do not specify which variety of Zapoteco their worked is focused on or generalize all of these varieties under the big umbrella term Zapoteco. On the other hand, when searching for peer review articles that fucues on revitalization efforts of Zapoteco Chichicapan in the Oaxaca and in the United States they are very specific on just one region. Unfortunately, up to now there is yet not one case study that closely studies Zapoteco Chichicapan; hence, this paper will emphasize the need for linguistic revitalization work on this region and highlight other revitalization efforts carried by other Zapotec regions as
