Editing Uto-Aztecan languages (section)

===Present scheme===
Below is a representation of the internal classification of the language family based on {{harvcoltxt|Shaul|2014}}. The classification reflects the decision to split up the previous Taracahitic and Takic groups, that are no longer considered to be valid genetic units. Whether the division between Northern and Southern languages is best understood as geographical or phylogenetic is under discussion. The table contains demographic information about number of speakers and their locations based on data from [[The Ethnologue]]. The table also contains links to a selected bibliography of grammars, dictionaries on many of the individual languages.(<sup>{{extinct}}</sup> = [[extinct language|extinct]])

In addition to the above languages for which linguistic evidence exists, it is suspected that among dozens of now extinct, undocumented or poorly known languages of northern Mexico, many were Uto-Aztecan.{{sfn|Campbell|1997|p=}}
