Pima Bajo (Mountain Pima, Lowland Pima, Nevome) is a Mexican indigenous language of the Piman branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, spoken by around 1,000 speakers in northern Mexico. The language is called Oʼob Noʼok by its speakers. The closest related languages are Oʼodham (Pima and Papago) and the O'othams.
There are three major communities in the Oʼob Noʼok region (Yepachic, Maycoba and Yécora), but many of the people live in small outlying hamlets and on isolated family ranches rather than the larger towns.
