Tlachichilco Tepehua New Testament (TPTWBT)

Overview

This is the New Testament in Tlachichilco Tepehua, an endangered Totonacan language spoken in the highlands of Veracruz state, Mexico. The text was published in 2004 by La Liga Biblica Internacional, with copyright held by Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. [1]. Bible portions in Tlachichilco Tepehua first appeared between 1985 and 1999, and the complete New Testament was produced between 2003 and 2012 [2]. Tlachichilco Tepehua is one of three Tepehua languages (alongside Huehuetla and Pisaflores), forming a branch of the Totonacan language family [3]. The Tepehua Tlachichilco community numbers approximately 4,700 people near the town of Tlachichilco in Veracruz; the population is religiously diverse, with an Eastern Orthodox church established after the 1930s land wars alongside Roman Catholic and Assemblies of God congregations [2]. The number of speakers of most Totonacan varieties has declined in the 20th century as indigenous identity became stigmatized, encouraging speakers to shift to Spanish [3].
