欧托-曼格语系

欧托-曼格语系（Oto-Manguean languages、Otomanguean）是一个包含多个美洲原住民语言的大语系。现在只有墨西哥的原住民仍然在使用著。但是在过去，欧托-曼格语系的曼格语的最南分布到尼加拉瓜与哥斯大黎加。现在使用人数最多的两个语支是位于墨西哥瓦哈卡州的萨波特克人与米斯特克人，合共约150万人。在墨西哥中部，特别是在墨西哥州、伊达尔戈州与克雷塔罗州有约50万人在使用欧托-曼格语系的Otomi和十分接近的Mazahua语言。一些欧托-曼格语系语言正濒临灭绝。例如，Ixcatec与Matlatzinca这两个语言各剩下不到250人的使用人口，而且绝大部分是老年人。其他的位于墨西哥以外的曼格语言已经灭绝，当中包括Chiapanec语言，这是最近才宣布灭绝的。而与Me'phaa最接近的灭绝语言Subtiaba，只有在20世纪初才有过它的记述。

欧托-曼格语系是中美洲语种最多与分布最广泛的一个语系。内部的多样性可以堪比印度-欧罗巴语系，而原始欧托-曼格语言据估计在公元前2000年前就已经开始被使用。这就是说起码在过去的4000年里，欧托-曼格语系已经与中美洲的其他语言共存并发展出共同的特性。在这样的程度上，已经可以将它们看作是一个语言区域，称作中美洲语言区。然而欧托-曼格语系同时因多个特色脱颖而出于其他的中美洲语系。它是北美洲和中美洲唯一的所有语言均为声调语言的语系。同时让欧托-曼格语系脱颖而出的是它比其它的中美洲语言拥有更多分析语结构。另一个典型特点是，欧托-曼格语系基本上都是以VSO（谓主宾结构）作为语序的。
