Purépecha is spoken in the highlands of Michoacán, Mexico[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pur%C3%A9pecha_language]. There are approximately 55,000 speakers of the language in all countries [https://www.ethnologue.com/language/tsz]. It's considered a language isolate since it doesn't seem to be related to any other known languages [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pur%C3%A9pecha_language]. Purépecha is considered both an agglutinative language and polysynthetic as well [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pur%C3%A9pecha_language#Typology]. 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pur%C3%A9pecha_language]. 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" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pur%C3%A9pecha_language]. The official alphabet is the P’URHEPECHA JIMBO KARARAKUECHA (Purépecha Alphabet) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pur%C3%A9pecha_language].
