It's considered a language isolate since it doesn't seem to be related to any other known languages [3]. Purépecha is considered both an agglutinative language and polysynthetic as well [4]. Speakers of the language may also know Spanish as Mexican government has encouraged Speakers of indigenous languages to abandon their languages in favor of Spanish; this is causing the status of the language to become more endangered [5]. It wasn't until 2003 the Congress of the Union of Mexico approved the General Law of Linguistic Rights of the Indigenous Peoples which protected the language as a "national language" [6].
