چکیده انگلیسی
This paper examines landscape terminology and place names of the Chontal region in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, with a focus on terms from Lowland Chontal, a highly endangered language spoken near the Pacific coast. In addition to the linguistic analysis, the paper presents a general description of the physical geography of the area and how it relates to settlement patterns and subsistence activities, with specific detail of the territorial organization of Huamelula as a sociopolitical unit and of the importance of sacred sites. The analysis serves both to anchor the Chontal speakers as long-time residents deeply engaged with the elements of their landscape and to document in part the dynamics of the multilinguistic and multiethnic history of the region.
