Southern Popoloca is an indigenous language of Puebla state, Mexico. There are two principal varieties, sometimes counted as distinct languages:

  • San Juan Atzingo Popoloca (a.k.a. Atzingo, San Juan)
  • Metzontla Popoloca (a.k.a. Los Reyes Metzontla Popoloca) which are about 75% mutually intelligible.
