Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">13. Speak indigenous language, 14. Name of the indigenous language, and 15. Speak<br />Spanish</span>
<br />This set of questions identifies people who speak a dialect or indigenous language, the name of the language they speak and also if they speak Spanish. Always asks the first question, even when you consider that in your work area people do not speak an indigenous language. Consider that indigenous languages are the set of languages that historically are heritage of indigenous groups in the Americas. Therefore, foreign languages including English, French, German, Italian, or Japanese are not indigenous languages.</p>
<p>When the answer is "yes", proceed to question 14 "Name of indigenous language". If the answer is "no", pass to question 16 "Understand indigenous language". If the respondent answers, that "he/she speak a little", "I do not speak fluent, but I understand it", "I speak, but I do not write" considers that the person does speak an indigenous language. Also record that the person speaks an indigenous language even when it is not used regularly. For question 14, records the name of the indigenous language as heard, without using abbreviations.</p>
<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Make clarifications particularly for the following languages: if the language is <span class="lang">Chontal</span>, ask if it is from Oaxaca or Tabasco; if the language is <span class="lang">Amuzgo</span>, asks if it is from Oaxaca or Guerrero; and if the language is <span class="lang">Tepehuano</span>, ask if it is from Chihuahua or Durango.</p>
<p>If the answer is "the language spoken in the region", "the language spoken by my parents" or answers that do not specify the language, ask for the name of the language and write it. If the informant does not know the name of the language, write the textual answer.</p>
<p>When the informant does not know the answer, write "does not know".</p>
<p>For question 15, if the answer is "a little", "almost nothing", "some words", among others, consider that he/she does not speak Spanish. If the person speaks Spanish, record that he/she does speak Spanish even though the person does not speak it regularly.</p>
<p>When you finish with question 15 "Speak Spanish", go to question 17 "School attendance".
