Kwalli Teotlac Listeros,


I am looking for evidence of linguistic elements in the Mixtec or Zapotec 
Manuscripts either of pre-Hispanic or post-Colonist origin.

Alfonso Caso hypothetized that there were Nadzuhui linguistic elements in 
their Manuscripts.  Has anybody else done any research as to the links 
between language and writing in the Mixtec and Zapotec areas?

I know that the Nahuas associated linguistic elements into their Manuscripts 
(-pan; tlan-; -tzin-; etc).
I am looking for direct evidence of Semasiographic and/or Glottographic 
Script outside of Nahua Writing.

Tlashtlawi,
