Zaniza Zapotec (Zapoteco de Santa María Zaniza) is an Oto-Manguean language of western Oaxaca, Mexico. It is one of several Zapotec languages called Papabuco. It has only 10% intelligibility with Texmelucan Zapotec, its closest important relative. (Speakers of the nearly extinct Elotepec Zapotec have 70% understanding of Zaniza, but it is not known if the reverse is true,[3] so this may be a question of familiarity.)
The language is spoken in Santa María Zaniza, Oaxaca.[4] As of 2003, the language had about 400 fluent speakers.[5] It is also spoken in Santiago Textitlán.[1]
