Chicahuaxtla Triqui is an Otomanguean language spoken in San Andrés Chicahuaxtla and in other neighboring communities in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico. There are two other Triqui languages. One is spoken in San Juan Copala and the other in San Martín Itunyoso. The oral text is a legend entitled Dàj guruguiˈ yumiguiì /da1h ɡuruɡwi3ʔ ʃumiɡwiː313/ ‘How the people of the world appeared’ and is a compilation of several legends about Triqui deities and the creation of the human race as we know it today. In this manuscript, I present a map of the Triqui region, a general description of the Chicahuaxtla Triqui language, its consonant and vowel inventories, tones, information about current and competing orthographic systems and a brief grammatical sketch. The article includes an orthographic representation of the legend with broad and narrow transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) along with a free translation of the text in both Spanish and English
