Hñähñu

Hñähñu is a name used by Otomi-speaking peoples of central Mexico. Their communities occupied a broad region stretching from the central highlands toward the drier northern frontier. After the Spanish conquest, some Otomi families moved into the Bajío, where their settlements lay among lands inhabited by Chichimeca peoples. Their language belongs to the Oto-Pamean branch of the Otomanguean family.
