The Central Zapotec languages share the innovation of a progressive aspect prefix in /ka-/ which contrasts with a habitual aspect /r-/, which is the reflex of a Proto-Zapotec imperfective prefix */tyi-/. Early instances of this innovative progressive aspect prefix can be found in colonial Zapotec texts from the sixteenth century, and the geographic dispersion of Central Zapotec languages with this form argues that the innovation must date to some centuries prior to a.d. 1300, and that this morphological characteristic is a key marker that distinguishes Central Zapotec languages from other members of the Zapotec family
