APPENDIX A 



LANGUAGE AND POPULATION 



SIXTEENTH CENTURY 



The sixteenth century extent of Totonacapan 

 and its population have been considered in the 

 main text (pp. 3-12). In table 14 (pp. 251-260) 

 are presented the basic data on which that treat- 

 ment is based. 



In formulating table 14, we have used two more 

 or less distinct, but in part overlapping, sets of 

 sources, which are discussed separately in the 

 following paragraphs. 



LINGUISTIC SOURCES 



We have relied chiefly on five linguistic sources, 

 three of which are ecclesiastical : 



1. Two documents, Doctrinas de indios, written about 

 1569 and 1571, respectively. Both are cited as 

 Doctrinas, and page reference indicates clearly which 

 document is involved ; both have been published by Paso 

 y Troncoso. 



2. Relation del distrito y pueblos del obispado de 

 Tlaxcala; written about 1570; published in the Episto- 

 lario and so cited. 



3. Mota y Escobar, Memoriales del obispo de Tlaxcala, 

 covering the years between 1608 and 1624 ; cited by 

 author. Observations subsequent to 1623 contain no 

 reference to native speech in the area which interests us. 



4. Various of the relaciones geogrdficas, those utilized 

 dating between 1579 and 1581. Unpublished relaciones 

 are cited by title; published ones, under the name of 

 the editor, Paso y Troncoso, except for that of Huauchi- 

 nango, published by Toussaint, and cited by his name. 



5. Various documents in the Archivo General de la 

 Nacion ; cited as AGN, followed by a number which re- 

 fers to our terminal bibliography. Unfortunately, the 

 greater part of the data found in the Archivo applies 

 to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Accordingly, 

 the information does not appear in the present table or 

 in map 1, but is cited occasionally in the text. 



Additional minor sources include Gomara, Diaz 

 del Castillo, Mendieta, Ixtlilxochitl, Ponce, and 

 Torquemada, all cited by author. 



Differences and contradictions between the vari- 

 ous sources are discussed in detail in the notes be- 





low. We have considered most reliable the sources 

 listed above under numbers 1, 3, and 4. When 

 they are not in agreement, we have attempted to 

 choose between them, with the reasons for the 

 selection indicated in the notes. 



As special cases, under Nautla (No. 27), Cuau- 

 tenco (No. 44), and Totutla (No. 65) are three 

 references which indicate language prior to 1519. 

 Various records subsequent to 1623 are cited in 

 the text but have not been included either in table 

 14 or in map 1. 



POPULATION SOURCES 



The population sources are chiefly nine, as fol- 

 lows: 



1. Suma de visitas, which apparently dates from ca. 

 1550 ; published by Paso y Troncoso ; cited as : Suma. 



2. Relation de los pueblos de indios de Nueva Espana 

 que estdn encomendados en personas particulates; written 

 in 1560 ; published in the Epistolario, and so cited. 



3. Lista de los pueblos de indios . . . encomendados en 

 personas particulares ; written between 1565 and 1570; 

 published by Garcia Pimentel, 1904, and cited by editor's 

 name. 



4. Relacidn del distrito y pueblos del obispado de Tlax- 

 cala; written about 1570 ; published in the Epistolario and 

 so cited. 



5. Two documents, Doctrinas de indios, written about 

 1569 and 1571, respectively. Both cited as Doctrinas, 

 with page reference indicating which document is in- 

 volved ; published by Paso y Troncoso. 



6. Lopez de Velasco, Qeografla y descripcidn universal 

 de las Indias; written in 1571 ; cited by name of author. 



7. Various of the relaciones geogrdficas. Unpublished 

 ones are cited by title; published relaciones, under the 

 name of the editor, Paso y Troncoso. 



8. Information recibida en la Real Aiidicncia de Me- 

 xico; dated 1597 ; published in the Epistolario and so cited. 



9. Mota y Escobar, Memoriales del Obispo de Tlaxcala, 

 covering the years 1G0S to 1624 ; cited by author. Obser- 

 vations subsequent to 1610 do not contain population data 

 for the zone under consideration. 



Additional minor sources include: Las Casas 

 and Aguilar, both cited by author; and the Sen-
