The area that will eventually comprise Honduras is occupied by a multiplicity of indigenous peoples following the period of Mayan dominance.

Indigenous groups related to the speakers of Oto-Manguean languages of central Mexico's Toltec culture migrate from the northwest into parts of what will become western and southern Honduras.

Most notable are the Manguean-speaking Chorotega, who establish themselves near the present-day city of Choluteca.
