Midland AKA Central Mixe is a Mixe language spoken in Mexico. According to Wichmann (1995), there are two groups of dialects:

North
Jaltepec, Puxmetecán, Atitlán, Matamoros, Cotzocón
South
Juquila, Cacalotepec

Ethnologue lists Mixistlán as well, but Wichmann counts that as Tlahuitoltepec Mixe.

A new variety of Midland Mixe has been recently documented in the village of San Juan Bosco Chuxnabá in San Miguel Quetzaltepec municipality, Oaxaca by Carmen Jany and other linguists.[5][6][7]
