The name Olmec comes from the Nahuatl word for the Olmecs: ÅlmÄcatl [oËlËmeËkatÍ¡É¬] (singular) or ÅlmÄcah [oËlËmeËkaÊ] (plural). This word is composed of the two words Ålli [ËoËlËi] , meaning rubber, and mÄcatl [ËmeËkatÍ¡É¬] , meaning people, so the word means rubber people.hey lived in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, in the present-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco. It has been speculated that Olmec derive in part from neighboring Mokaya and/or MixeâZoque.
The hypothesis that the Olmec spoke an Otomanguean language is not supported by the contemporary spatial distribution of the languages spoken in the Tabasco/Veracruz area.Thomas Lee in R.J. Sharer and D. C. Grove (Eds.), Regional Perspectives on the Olmecs, New York: Cambridge University Press (1989, 223) noted that.ue to the lack of evidence for a Mixe origin of the Olmec writing Houston and Coe believe that that the Olmec must of spoken another language. They suggest that the language may have been Huastec. The Huastec hypothesis is not supported by the linguistic evidence.
