The Huave (Mero Ikoot or Mero Ikooc) are an indigenous ethnic group who lives in three coastal districts in the State of #oaxaca , #Mexico . They speak 4 variants of an isolated language (Ombeayiüts), characterized by its high degree of palatalization and lack of glottal stops. It has been argued that the Huave might have migrated to Oaxaca from Nicaragua, although there is no evidence about this, apart from an anecdote written in 1674.
