A year later he would incorporate the philological study of colonial sources from which he would edit the Art of the Mixe language by Agustín Quintana and the Grammar of the Zapotec-Serrana and Zapotec Valley languages , written by Friar Gaspar de los Reyes. Among the languages that were described by Belmar are Amuzgo , Chatino , Chocholteco , Chontal , Cuicateco , Huave , Mazatec , Mixe , Papabuco , Triqui and Zapotec .
