PUREPECKA INDIANS IN MEXICO SPEAK A LANGUAGE NOT RELATED TO ANY LIVING LANGUAGE. IT'S SPOKEN BY MORE THAN ANY OTHER 100,000 PEOPLE IN CENTRAL MEXICO. IT COMES FROM THE AZTEC WORD FOR THE PUREPECHAS. IT IS AN AGGLINATIVE LANGUAGE WHICH HAS PRIMARILY A WORD ORDER. THESE PEOPLE ARE REFERRED TO AS TARASCANS INSPANISH AND ENGLISH. THEY ARE IN THE NORTHWEST AREA OF THE MICHOACAN. IN PREHISTORIC TIMES THEY TIMES THEY WERE REFERRED TO TARASCAN INDIANS. THEY ARE ALSO IN GUANAJUATO AS WELL.
THEIR ARCHAEOLOGY IS STEEP PYRAMIDS IN THE SHAPE OF THE LETTER T. THEY WERE NEVER CONTACTED BY THE AZTEC EMPIRE. THIS WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY HAD KNOWLEDGE OF MAKING METAL ARMOR AND WEAPONS. NATIVES WERE REDUCED BY THE EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX AFTER SPANISH CONQUEST OF THE AZTEC EMPIRE.
