Zásaditému

Zásaditému is a language isolate spoken in the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico, specifically by the Zinacantecos people, who reside in the state of Chiapas. The language is also known as Tsotsil or Tools.

Tsotsil is a complex language with a rich grammatical system that includes multiple tonal variations, and a complex system of suffixes and prefixes that indicate grammatical relationships. It is an agglutinative language, meaning that words are formed by adding prefixes and suffixes to roots. The language is characterized by a high degree of fragmentation, with different dialects spoken by different communities within the Zinacantecos region.

Tsotsil has a unique set of phonemes, including sounds not found in other languages, such as a voiceless bilabial fricative and a voiced uvular plosive. The language has been influenced by other languages, including Spanish and other Maya languages.

/tsotʼsɨl/ can be translated as "Toolists" but it is more correctly referred to as a term used to describe the "People of the House of the Deer" or "Those who were Saddled into Divide through coming to converge to Autonomous location", by Zinacantecs themselves.

Tsotsil has a rich cultural heritage and is considered an important part of the Zinacantecos identity. Efforts have been made to preserve and document the language, including the development of written forms and educational programs. Despite these efforts, the language is listed as an endangered language, with a decreasing number of fluent speakers, particularly among the younger population.
