Hey everyone! I see all the love you guys are sharing and I definitely see the requests for more Purepecha videos/ tutorials! I have came across some other videos here on wonderful youtube that actually teach this language in proper context! :) th-cam.com/video/2DbXdAAEWfg/w-d-xo.html
Hey Alba! This is great to find info on Purepecha. My wife's family is from Arteaga. I'm her American husband. Can you tell me how to pronounce the word uembekua? I think it is oo-ehm-beh-kwa with the accent on "ehm". I would like to say this correctly to my wife. Thanks! David
Hello Alba Elias My Grandparents are also Tarascan. But I don’t know much if the history. Can you message me back. I would really like to talk to you about the history.
I was going to say. Id offer pay pal payments on lessons in Purépechá, this language is mostly taught from spanish. Even though im native and mexican, english is my first language.
Hello I’m trying to find Purépecha pictures of Warriors because I want to get a tattoo of some do you know where I can find any I am Purépecha and Apache .
This is so exciting! My family is from Michoacan and I really wanted to learn more about Purepecha and the language. It's trickier to find reliable sources on the history. I love this!
@Daniel Valencia that sounds fairly judgemental. It's not like the majority of Mexicans are strictly descended from Europeans. It's not impossible for someone from say... Tacatzcuaro or even one of the big cities like Zamora to not have people directly descended from a native people. This doesn't mean the connection isn't there though. Did I misinterpret your comment bro?
I’m trying to explain to my mom how we’re purepecha but she keeps deniying it almost if she’s embarrassed , we’re from Michoacán from Manza and tancitaro, I’m slowly learning my culture and researching and planning to learn how speak our beautiful language , i feel guilty for not knowing our culture
I'm Purepecha too. Omg!!! I was born in the USA, but learn to speak Purepecha first. When I started kinder, I learned English and Spanish. My mom and dad are from Ocumicho, Michoacan. My mom was a Gueresita when she was young. I dress up with our traditional outfits every December to celebrate the Virgin Mary. Also when we have big parties. Such as cuando se juntan, weddings, bautizos, alot of family gatherings.
I love to see this type of content! I am so fascinated by the Purhepecha people. I wish to identify as an indigenous person myself, but I don't know if I can. My dad is from Morelia, Michoacán, but he is mestizo. We do not know our indigenous roots, it has been covered up and lost through time. My family has spoken only Spanish for generations, and I feel sad inside like there is a long tradition which has been lost. My grandmother was born in Uruapan, and her parents were both orphans. I wish to study Purhepecha to try and reconnect with this part of myself, but it is difficult to find resources.
I did 23 and me and I figured out my ancestors were purépecha! My family knew we were indigenous but didn’t know what tribe. Unexpected outcome since my family isn’t from Michoacán which I’ve been hearing is where most of the purépecha people are from, my mom’s family is from Jalisco. I also found out about my dads ancestors (Colombia) and my ancestors on that side I found out were Páez☺️
I was surprised when I went to Michoacan about 20 years ago, that I as a "gringo" spoke "better" Spanish than the people in the pueblo we went to. All of the people spoke Purepecha and I was suprised they didn''t speak Spanish (200km from Mexico City). Curiously, the people in the pueblo knew California, Oregon and Washington, but they didn''t know Mexico City.
there's millions of indigenous/native american people in Mexico. They speak their native/indigenous languages and practice their culture as well as Spanish and national Mexican traditions/culture
No, a true Mexican is usually Spanish and Native American mix. Mexico didn’t exist before the Spanish came and created it. The Purepecha empire was the enemy of the Aztec empire, they had many wars.
@@grtwhtbnr right, I am also part Purepecha. We are from michoacan. But the Purepechas weren’t “Mexican.” Purepechas were the strongest empire when the Spanish came, and they were enemies of the Aztec empire. There was no unified “Mexico” until after the Spanish allied themselves with the Purepecha and other tribes and conquered it all. The Purepecha were Spanish allies.
I think that languages like Purépecha, Nahua, Otomí, Mixtec, Zapotec, Yucateco, Yaqui and others should be taught in Mexican schools depending on the region.
This is interesting because I'm also a first-language speaker of a regional, minority language (which is usually glossed over too, sadly). My family is Chinese, but my first language wasn't Mandarin. It was actually Shanghainese, which is dialect of Wu Chinese (Wu Chinese is a distinct language, but related to Mandarin). I've also gotten to the point where I can't speak it fluently anymore. But, I can still understand and translate sentences and pick out the sounds. I just can't speak it well to communicate with locals in Shanghai. It's always cool seeing people who speak indigenous languages. I have a huge interest in Mesoamerican indigenous languages. And living in LA has exposed me to a few Zapotec and Nahuatl speakers, but I've yet to meet Purepecha speakers. It's also an interesting language since it predates the Aztecs and it's unrelated to any other language in Mexico.
Artexerxes101 you’re absolutely right. P’urhépecha is not related to Nahuatl. Linguists and historians say P’urhépecha is closer to Quechua, a language spoken by the Incas & their descendants. Props to you for knowing that.
Yes! Currently reclaiming and studying both classical and modern nahuatl. No specific dialects yet. I would love to learn pure too, my son’s father is purepecha but was never taught 💛
My family is from La Jacona Michoacan, La Ribera Jalisco, and San Jose Casas Caidas Jalisco. We just traced our history back, and my grandma's father spoke this language! I'm in the process of learning it, so thank you!!
I just found your channel! My home town is literally in the border of Michoacán and Guanajuato. Before my abuelito passed away, he would tell us so much that he was so proud of being Tarasco, but before we could start looking more into our family and where we are from he passed away. When he was little his family moved to our little town and he lost touch with his roots and forgot the language as he got older. His parents didn't teach him much and he wanted so badly to learn. I got so happy when I found your video, thank you for sharing. He would have love this! ☺️
The purest and most ancient stage of the language that's been recorded is in the 2 documents known as "Arte de la Lengua de Michoacan(1558)" and "Vocabulario en Lengva de Michoacan(1559)"
Oh my goodness! I’m so glad I found your youtube Chanel! My parents never taught me Purepucha because Dad is from Cheranaztico, and mom is from Quinceo, so they could never agree to how to “say something right” I’m so inspired to learn this beautiful dialect!
That’s definitely an important sentence to know though! 😂 It’s a beautiful language and more props to you for wanting to learn it! It’s a dying language unfortunately, so when I see that more people want to learn it, it warms my heart 💓
My parents and I are from a neighboring town to Morelia , Michoacan,called acambaro Guanajuato . I have read this town was also purepecha at some point (maybe still is ?) before being colonized by other tribes and the Spaniards, I asked my dad about this and he said yes acambaro is purepecha word . Anyways just trying to learn more about who we are , thanks for sharing this fun video!
It’s definitely a journey within itself to figure out who we are exactly, but I’ve loved learning all the history along the way! 💓 Thank you for sharing some!
Iris Garcia I have family in Acambaro but we’re from El puerto de Cabrás it’s very close to Iramuco . Are you familiar with this area? I wish I knew more about my ancestor.
Ali M Hello ! I did live there for a while but I was very young so I don’t really know the other towns besides where my family is from .. there’s 2 local museums one is called Museo De Acambaro Dr.Luis Mota Marciel and Museo Waldemar Julsrud A.C. They both have some pottery’s and figurines found in Acambaro from our ancestors who is known by La Cultura Chupicuaro , there’s some info online it’s really interesting if you’re into all that . I’ve been looking for information myself which is how I found out the town was originally purepecha , which makes sense because back then they wouldn’t have states with boundaries like they do today . Anyways hope it helped a lil and good luck finding more information it’s a journey!
Ayyyy, I’m close to Zamora too, my dad is from La Plaza del Limon and my mom is from El Valenciano which are like between the Jalisco border and Zamora
After researching and getting in touch with relatives from Michoacán … my great grandma was tarasco and spoke purepecha/ michoacano 🥺 wish my family would of taught us this
Love, love, love it! All of my family is from Michoacán and wish I knew P’urhépecha ❤️ Our family probably lost it hundreds of years ago 😞 Que siga adelante!
My grandma and grandpa spoke tarascó and I didn’t know that it is the same as purépecha. This is so interesting. Trying to learn more from my roots. Thank you so much for this video. I would love to learn more.
omg i came across your channel!! my moms from santa cruz tanaco and my dad from turicuaro! i hate that they didn’t teach me tarasco! i wish i learned the language! love your channel!
I wish my family taught me purepecha..I just did DNA Testing and found out the I'm 70% Purepecha Native American and don't know anything about my culture..
same here!! I took the 23 and me test and found out I’m actually 78.1% indigenous american (with roots in Michoacán aka purépecha) but unfortunately the language was lost :( the small town my parents grew up in still celebrate a lot of the traditions such as “la danza de los viejitos” which I’ve read was influenced by purépecha culture so im rly curious to learn more
My mom is Purepecha indian also from Michoacan. She comes from the Preciado family. She used to talk to me and my sibling her native tongue when we where small. Their is alot of Preciado's still living in Michoacan. Enjoyed your video.
It’s so interesting that they say that the Purépecha language is related to Quechua, which was spoken by the Incas, meaning that the Purépechas came from Peru probably somehow and that’s really cool to me since I’m from Michoacán and have Purépecha blood most likely
Dude i was literally looking for this comment. I saw this lecture on the great courses that talked about how tarasco has more in common w/ quechua than the languages of mesoamerica. It's weird because i have peruvian blood thru my grandma whos from jalisco (not far from michoacan) so i feel like this would explain that. Hope more research is done to explore this crazy link
@@daniel3889 purepecha has roots in Jalisco and parts of Guanajuato as well . In my 23&me it also states I have Peruvian (Inca ) lineage. Some say the Incas would travel and make their way and exchanged goods (coral or shells I believe)It would be interesting to see if she can watch a video In Quechua and see if she can understand words.
My grandma Purepecha and the only phrase that I know is “chuscuta con tataccini” = rice, beans, and tortillas. I also remember her singing me la flor de canela en P’urhépecha🥺 I cant wait to go to Michoacán this December
Hi Alba, my name is Steve Estrada, my father is from Zinaparo/Morelia Michoacan Mexico, my father tried teaching me some of the Indian Language from Michocan when I was 17 to 19 years old, but he never taught my older siblings, he only spoke in Spanish or English to them, but he always mentioned the Tarasco Indians in Michoacan, so in the last year I actually looked up the words, such as Ichuskuta, meaning tortilla and I realized it was the Purepecha Language, I'm going on a crash course to learn so much more, so if you have any more advice, let me know, Diosï Meiamu, hope I got that right lol.
I’m from cotija Michoacan and I am trying to trace back my family history to see if we have any purépecha in it. Are there any last names known to be purépecha?
I’m half Mexican half European and I just recently found out I am part Purepecha, wish I knew the language. Only know Spanish, English and German. Do you know where to get language lessons???
Omg! Thanks so much for making this video. So my grandmother spoke Pure and her family before her. I WISH it was taught!!! I’m showing my family this ASAP.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! You mentioned you are in EUROPE, where in EUROPE? My father is from Pátzcuaro, Michoacán and speaks this language. I currently live in Germany near Kaiserslautern and would love to meet you. I have tons of questions.
I think it's great that you still preserve your original language, please don't lose it and teach it to your kids. I get the sense that you might be somewhat embarrassed to speak it, but I really hope I'm wrong. I was born in Puruandiro Michoacán and I wish I knew how to speak the native tongue of our ancestors. You are very fortunate. Don't lose it!!
My Grandfather and Grandmother were both Purepecha!! They spoke more Spanish when they came to America and they learned English as well, but there English was just okay, they are resting in peace now!! Thank you so much for this video, makes me think of my family.🙏❤💯💪
I’ve been looking for sources that are simple to learn the language and haven’t found any good resources can you tell me where to look to find how to learn purepecha ?
This is awesome!! I’m so glad I found your channel. I honestly knew nothing about this language/culture. I’m living in california, but was born and raised in Mexico as a kid. I have an “adopted” older sister who is from Michoacán, but I never asked her about her pueblo/parents/culture. I wonder if she knows the language ☺️ I loved watching you teach your husband, lol. My boyfriend is white and it’s so fun trying to teach him Spanish! I love learning new languages, might try to learn purepecha just for fun & to try to keep it alive because it seems like such a beautiful language 😍
Crazy, My family is from Ocumicho as well ! I Can relate to you, don’t know how to speak it so well but I can understand it. You definitely know more than me tho🤣😅
My grandfather recently pasted and we found a bunch of info about his father who was purepecha... I am very very white but my great grandfather is from Michoacán and was over half purepecha please do more videos...I really want to learn more about my heritage
I wish my father could have taught me Purépecha, but he lives in Mexico. Please make more videos about the language and culture! There aren't many resources about Purépecha in English. Your channel is important.
Omg this is so crazy, girl! My parents are also from Michoacán (s.f. Uricho) and ive been talking about learning tarascó This is so awesome!! I love how there’s so many people in the comments that know about it bc I seriously never met anyone that did
How cute! I loved this so much, for the last few years I've been wanting to get to know much more about this language because there seems to be such a lack of proper information on it on the internet. It's so wonderful to hear from someone who was still able to learn it from using it with other people who have kept the language alive. My great grandmother used to speak it and so my grandmother and two of her siblings were exposed to it and were able to understand but unfortunately it was lost with their generation. My grandma can still understand and remembers random words but it's unfortunate that it was lost there as my dad and his brother grew up with Spanish being their first language. So, i guess this is my long "thank you for sharing" paragraph lol
My family is from a small town named Caurio, Michoacan Next to Purepero, Michoacan... which is close to Carapan. They speak Tarasco...and I remember my Grandma use to sing such a beautiful song in Tarasco. What a beautiful blessing you have to be able to speak our ancestors language!!! VIVA MICHOACAN!!!
Hi Alba, does the Purepecha language not use the letter "L"? When I hear it spoken, it almost sounds like Japanese. My father's side is from Michoacan and I loved listening to the women speak in Purepecha when I'd accompany my Grandmother to the open air market, when I was a child. 🙏❤🦋
Where can I learn Purepecha?😩 My dad’s family is from Quinceo and my mom’s family is from the U.S. I had to learn Spanish on my own and none of my family wants to teach me😭
Do you know where we can learn this language? My grandparents, aunts, and uncles are purepecha but because they migrated so early the onlt ones left alive dont speak the language.
Just like others here I found out a few years ago my grandmother is "full" at the time it was references to me as tarascan my father's done the lineage and has read up on a lot but Im trying to learn as much as I can as well... Thank you for your story and sharing your family 💕💕💕 my kid's father is blue eyed and I say , "porcelain completion" 🤣 he's german I'd love to teach our kids as much about their heritage as possible... Do you have a fan page on facebook for articles and other webpages for maybe everyone to share info they find ?
I'd LOVE more videos like this!!!! And your parents 😍🙏💖 please! Just now getting into my culture and would love to know more about the celebrations, many things💖💖💖💖💖 thank you!
My grandparents and my great parents were purepecha... My mother knows a couple of words when I went down to" sacapu Michacan♡ There was a lot of natives there I was so impressed on the way they spoke. On how some of the people still carry their traditions I love it came home and told my family all about it♡
Pretty late but this is awesome. My dads family is also indigenous my moms side somewhat. We come from San Andres Tzirondaro aside from Pátzcuaro. I’ve always tried to learn but can never remember how to say things. But understand it all. All I can remember is “Ashua laski ?” [Greeting] some other stuff too. Not so sure the correct spelling (which isn’t really known being Chicano) but this is awesome!
I’m from Michoacán, then my parents settled in Kentucky so that’s where I was raised, but now I live in Belgium with my husband! 😅 Its a hard language to learn, but even just knowing some words is awesome! 💓
I wish I knew more about my grandma who is also from Ocumicho but she passed away when my dad was 7 so we have no contact with anyone there except my tia who lives in the first house entering ocumicho to the right from tangas Hope to learn from you
Both my parents are from Michoacán but my dad is from Pátzcuaro. He spoke purépecha as a child but eventually Spanish became his dominant language and as he learned 4 other languages he lost his native tongue and it’s something I’m super interested in keeping alive.

Wow! You’re so close to where my family is from. Paracho!
Wow so cool! I hope you make more puré videos!!!!
My mom is Purepecha indian also from Michoacan. She comes from the Preciado family. She used to talk to me and my sibling her native tongue when we where small. Their is alot of Preciado's still living in Michoacan. Enjoyed your video.
It’s so interesting that they say that the Purépecha language is related to Quechua, which was spoken by the Incas, meaning that the Purépechas came from Peru probably somehow and that’s really cool to me since I’m from Michoacán and have Purépecha blood most likely
Dude i was literally looking for this comment. I saw this lecture on the great courses that talked about how tarasco has more in common w/ quechua than the languages of mesoamerica. It's weird because i have peruvian blood thru my grandma whos from jalisco (not far from michoacan) so i feel like this would explain that. Hope more research is done to explore this crazy link
@@daniel3889 purepecha has roots in Jalisco and parts of Guanajuato as well . In my 23&me it also states I have Peruvian (Inca ) lineage. Some say the Incas would travel and make their way and exchanged goods (coral or shells I believe)It would be interesting to see if she can watch a video In Quechua and see if she can understand words.
In what ways do people say its related? Is it in the sentence structure or what?
Actually Purepecha is unrelated to Quechua. In fact, it is unrelated to every language in the world. That is because Purépecha is a language isolate.
Thanks, I learned some new words, but I need to learn more. How do you say "happy" and "art" in Purepecha?
My grandma Purepecha and the only phrase that I know is “chuscuta con tataccini” = rice, beans, and tortillas. I also remember her singing me la flor de canela en P’urhépecha🥺 I cant wait to go to Michoacán this December
Hi Alba, my name is Steve Estrada, my father is from Zinaparo/Morelia Michoacan Mexico, my father tried teaching me some of the Indian Language from Michocan when I was 17 to 19 years old, but he never taught my older siblings, he only spoke in Spanish or English to them, but he always mentioned the Tarasco Indians in Michoacan, so in the last year I actually looked up the words, such as Ichuskuta, meaning tortilla and I realized it was the Purepecha Language, I'm going on a crash course to learn so much more, so if you have any more advice, let me know, Diosï Meiamu, hope I got that right lol.
My grandmother was Purepecha, and she spoke it. My mom taught me a couple of phrases, but I want to learn it!
Hello from JACONA Michoacán.. I’ve been to your town for los diablillos de ocumicho”!!

Fabian Carrillo aye saludos from a homie in Tangamandapio MICH
I’m from cotija Michoacan and I am trying to trace back my family history to see if we have any purépecha in it. Are there any last names known to be purépecha?
Thank you for sharing! Is there a word for “hello?”
I’m half Mexican half European and I just recently found out I am part Purepecha, wish I knew the language. Only know Spanish, English and German. Do you know where to get language lessons???
😂 ONLY?!? I wish I spoke more than 2 some only know one
Hi, I wanted to know what does your family know about Irendira? I can never get an exact story about her.
This is awesome. Saludos desde San Bartolo Pareo, right across the lake fro Janitzio. ✌🏻

This is awesome! Thank you! My grandfather spoke Purepecha and was from Michoacan. I found one book on the language.
Oh wow! Could you please share the title of the book? :)
@@albae270 the author is Huitzil and the title of the book is Supremacia Jaliciense they go on to explain such things as the Salitre Wars
Omg! Thanks so much for making this video. So my grandmother spoke Pure and her family before her. I WISH it was taught!!! I’m showing my family this ASAP.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! You mentioned you are in EUROPE, where in EUROPE? My father is from Pátzcuaro, Michoacán and speaks this language. I currently live in Germany near Kaiserslautern and would love to meet you. I have tons of questions.
Hey! Thank you for your support! 💗 DM on IG!! @albae96
Y’all speak German too???
I think it's great that you still preserve your original language, please don't lose it and teach it to your kids. I get the sense that you might be somewhat embarrassed to speak it, but I really hope I'm wrong. I was born in Puruandiro Michoacán and I wish I knew how to speak the native tongue of our ancestors. You are very fortunate. Don't lose it!!
Red: Shut up, eat! In the Brooklyn version of the language 😆😭🤣
My Grandfather and Grandmother were both Purepecha!! They spoke more Spanish when they came to America and they learned English as well, but there English was just okay, they are resting in peace now!! Thank you so much for this video, makes me think of my family.🙏❤💯💪
Arriba Sahuayo 👍 y todo Mexico cool vid def liked it.
grandparents died recently. didn’t teach me or my parents. trying to recover what i can about my culture thank you for the video
I’ve been looking for sources that are simple to learn the language and haven’t found any good resources can you tell me where to look to find how to learn purepecha ?
This is awesome!! I’m so glad I found your channel. I honestly knew nothing about this language/culture. I’m living in california, but was born and raised in Mexico as a kid. I have an “adopted” older sister who is from Michoacán, but I never asked her about her pueblo/parents/culture. I wonder if she knows the language ☺️ I loved watching you teach your husband, lol. My boyfriend is white and it’s so fun trying to teach him Spanish!
I love learning new languages, might try to learn purepecha just for fun & to try to keep it alive because it seems like such a beautiful language 😍
Crazy, My family is from Ocumicho as well ! I Can relate to you, don’t know how to speak it so well but I can understand it. You definitely know more than me tho🤣😅
My grandfather recently pasted and we found a bunch of info about his father who was purepecha... I am very very white but my great grandfather is from Michoacán and was over half purepecha please do more videos...I really want to learn more about my heritage
Santa Cruz de Villa Gomez, Michoacan, Mexico checking in here. 🤙🤙 I love and embrace my Purepecha roots.
Wow!!! From Ocumicho?!? My family is from Patambán! I’m so glad I came across your video!! Saludos!!
I wish my father could have taught me Purépecha, but he lives in Mexico. Please make more videos about the language and culture! There aren't many resources about Purépecha in English. Your channel is important.
¡Hermosa! Eres muy afortunada de hablar purépecha. Yo también soy de Michoacán 💜
¿Puedes hacer un vídeo enseñándonos un poco más de purépecha? ¡Porfa!
Omg this is so crazy, girl! My parents are also from Michoacán (s.f. Uricho) and ive been talking about learning tarascó
This is so awesome!! I love how there’s so many people in the comments that know about it bc I seriously never met anyone that did
Can you also speak of what’s the ceremony of the fire.
My cousin is from the same group! 🤩 I’m Japanese, and she is born there but moved to America with her family. That’s amazing and cool! 🌸
Alba, you rock! Please, more teaching about Mexico. Major respect. Gracias.
Glad I found your channel💞 I’m Yaqui & Purépecha but I was born in California so I’m trying to reconnect
How cute! I loved this so much, for the last few years I've been wanting to get to know much more about this language because there seems to be such a lack of proper information on it on the internet. It's so wonderful to hear from someone who was still able to learn it from using it with other people who have kept the language alive. My great grandmother used to speak it and so my grandmother and two of her siblings were exposed to it and were able to understand but unfortunately it was lost with their generation. My grandma can still understand and remembers random words but it's unfortunate that it was lost there as my dad and his brother grew up with Spanish being their first language. So, i guess this is my long "thank you for sharing" paragraph lol
My family is from a small town named Caurio, Michoacan Next to Purepero, Michoacan... which is close to Carapan. They speak Tarasco...and I remember my Grandma use to sing such a beautiful song in Tarasco. What a beautiful blessing you have to be able to speak our ancestors language!!! VIVA MICHOACAN!!!
Te felicito por ese gran detalle mi paisana echale ganas y por el pueblo de ocumicho
Hi Alba, does the Purepecha language not use the letter "L"?
When I hear it spoken, it almost sounds like Japanese.
My father's side is from Michoacan and I loved listening to the women speak in Purepecha when I'd accompany my Grandmother to the open air market, when I was a child. 🙏❤🦋
Hello from California, my family also speaks purepecha! 😁
Where can I learn Purepecha?😩 My dad’s family is from Quinceo and my mom’s family is from the U.S. I had to learn Spanish on my own and none of my family wants to teach me😭
Do you know where we can learn this language? My grandparents, aunts, and uncles are purepecha but because they migrated so early the onlt ones left alive dont speak the language.
Just like others here I found out a few years ago my grandmother is "full" at the time it was references to me as tarascan my father's done the lineage and has read up on a lot but Im trying to learn as much as I can as well... Thank you for your story and sharing your family 💕💕💕 my kid's father is blue eyed and I say , "porcelain completion" 🤣 he's german I'd love to teach our kids as much about their heritage as possible... Do you have a fan page on facebook for articles and other webpages for maybe everyone to share info they find ?
New subscriber here , my parents speak purepecha and also my husband trying to learn some new words
Hey my mother-in-law is purepeche, although she only speaks spanish and english.

My bed time stories were always about purépecha history. It always made us happy hearing our dad tell us about our people.
My grandparents and my great parents were purepecha... My mother knows a couple of words when I went down to" sacapu Michacan♡ There was a lot of natives there I was so impressed on the way they spoke. On how some of the people still carry their traditions I love it came home and told my family all about it♡
Can you do more videos of speaking that language I am from Michoacan
Kanikua sesi, ji jorhenguarhixaka p’urhe uandani 👍🏼 seguiri jorhendani chari achati
Pretty late but this is awesome. My dads family is also indigenous my moms side somewhat. We come from San Andres Tzirondaro aside from Pátzcuaro. I’ve always tried to learn but can never remember how to say things. But understand it all. All I can remember is “Ashua laski ?” [Greeting] some other stuff too. Not so sure the correct spelling (which isn’t really known being Chicano) but this is awesome!
My mother understands it and talks, never learned it my self till I started learning nahuatl .I started getting intrested in tarasco not so long ago .
Where did live before, and where are you living now!
My parents speak it,but I only understand it and I know some words
I’m from Michoacán, then my parents settled in Kentucky so that’s where I was raised, but now I live in Belgium with my husband! 😅
Its a hard language to learn, but even just knowing some words is awesome! 💓
Loved your video best wishes and blessings for you ! Yo soy maestro de inglés como lengua extranjera y quiero iniciar una maestría en purépecha
I wish I knew more about my grandma who is also from Ocumicho but she passed away when my dad was 7 so we have no contact with anyone there except my tia who lives in the first house entering ocumicho to the right from tangas Hope to learn from you
Both my parents are from Michoacán but my dad is from Pátzcuaro. He spoke purépecha as a child but eventually Spanish became his dominant language and as he learned 4 other languages he lost his native tongue and it’s something I’m super interested in keeping alive.
