An educator in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas is bridging the gap between Indigenous language and artificial intelligence by teaching Tzotzil to ChatGPT.

Mexico is among the top 10 nations globally with the most Indigenous languages, ranking second in Latin America behind Brazil.
About 6% of Mexico’s population of 132 million can speak Nahuatl, Tzeltal, Maya, Zapotec, Tzotzil, Mixtec or another Indigenous language.
Still, language loss remains a serious concern, as nearly 300 Indigenous languages have disappeared historically in Mexico.
