This paper presents the first account of the use of frames of reference (FoR) in Ayutla Mixe, a Mixe-Zoque language spoken in Southern Mexico. A referential communication task was conducted with five pairs of native speakers in order to locate a figure with respect to a ground. In addition to presenting the expression of FoRs in Ayutla Mixe and their frequencies, two main issues are discussed here. One is the difference between projective and nonprojective relations and the other is the difference between landmark-based and direct FoRs, particularly when the anchor is a speech act participant
