Lachixío Zapotec (East Sola de Vega Zapotec) is a Zapotec language of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is healthy, with half of speakers monolingual.
Ethnologue reports that San Vicente Lachixio is 80% intelligible with San Miguel Mixtepec, and also with San Mateo Mixtepec which Egland (1978) counts as part of the Lachixío language, but it is not closely related with the other varieties called Mixtepec.[2] El Alto Zapotec is perhaps a divergent dialect (Lachixío is 73% intelligible in El Alto, but the reverse is not mentioned.)
The extinct Solteco Zapotec was apparently closest to Lachixío.[2]
