Cora

Cora, a Mexican people whose language is still current in the state of Jalisco. It is a member of Buschmann's Aztec-Sonora group, though its relations to Aztec are rather phonetical than structural; there are three varieties, Ateakari, Muntzicat, and Teakualitzigti. Type strikingly Mongolic, high cheek bones, oblique eyes, dull yellow complexion, flat features, and in habits resembling some Siberian peoples. The Coras and their Tepehuan neighbours plait their long horse-tail hair in a single tress which falls down the back. All are now settled and Christians, gradually merging in the surrounding Spanish-speaking populations.
