Chihuahua Lower Pima is classified as Definitely Endangered by theUNESCOAtlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

Pima Bajo (Mountain Pima, Lowland Pima, Nevome) is a Mexican indigenous language of thePiman branch of theUto-Aztecan language family, spoken by around 1,000 speakers in northernMexico. The language is calledOʼob Noʼok by its speakers. The closest related languages areOʼodham (Pima and Papago) and theO'othams.

There are three major communities in the Oʼob Noʼok region (Yepachic,Maycoba [es] andYécora), but many of the people live in small outlying hamlets and on isolated family ranches rather than the larger towns.

• Sounds /t, s, n, l/ when preceding /i/ are heard as [tʃ, ʃ, ɲ, lʲ].
• /d/ can be heard as either sounds [ʒ] or [j] when in between two /i/ vowels.^[2]

Zarina Estrada-Fernández studied the language, publishing an overview of its grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. She identified consistent dialectal differences between communities in the region, especially between villages in Sonora and those in Chihuahua. Pima Bajo is anagglutinative language, where words use suffix-complexes for a variety of purposes with severalmorphemes strung together.^[3]
