[3] Mochoʼ has a dialect called Tuzantec (Muchuʼ) spoken in Tuzantan, Chiapas.

Historically, the two groups descend from a single population living in the region of Belisario Dominguez about 500 years ago.

Speakers have also been reported in the nearby towns of Tolimán, Buenos Aires, and Campana.

[6] According to the established in the written norm, the Mochoʼ alphabet consists of 30 letters, 25 consonants and 5 vowels that represent all the phonemes of the language.

Pronunciation rules change compared to modern Spanish, as ñ becomes an "ng" sound like in sing, and glottalization becomes important for many consonants.
