Little is known about the Tapachultek language. However, according to Ott Schuman, a linguistic researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico , the language disappeared in the 1930s during the reign of Chiapas Governor Victorico Grajales. Grajales banned the use of indigenous languages in order to try to create a stronger connection between the state of Chiapas and the rest of Mexico.
