@RazielMEX  Thank you for the information.

@9Celena It's one of the many indigenous languages that exists in the southern regions of México (Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guerrero); due to the variety of these languages it's hard to tell exactly which one is being used here (at least for inexpert people like me), alghough you can get an idea by taking a look at the "Languages of México" article in wikipedia or even better, especialized bibliography.

What language were they speaking. It did not sound like Spanish.
