The N·huatl Language of the Aztecs

"Totonal ye omotlatitzino, Totonal ye omixpoliuitzino, iuan zentlayouayan
tech pelikan.
Mach tikmati okzepa mo maluikaz, okzepa mo kizaltiz, iuan yankuikan tech
tlauilikiuh."

The sun has dissapeared, the sun has been hidden from us, and left us in
total darkness.
But we have the certainty that once again it will rise, once again it will
come to shine for us all.

The Nahuatl Language of the Aztecs

The Aztecs spoke a language called Nahuatl (pronounced NAH waht l). It belongs to a large group of Indian languages which also include the languages spoken by the Comanche, Pima, Shoshone and other tribes of western North America. The Aztec used pictographs to communicate through writing. Some of the pictures symbolized ideas and other represented the sounds of the syllables.

"Mexica tiahui amotihuihui amo maca mo maceualtis in tlein tiq elehuia."

Nahuatl List

nahuat-l@listserv.umt.edu

A discussion list which deals with Aztec studies in general and Nahuatl (the Aztec language) in particular.

NAHUAT-L is an unmoderated discussion list which will focus on Aztec studies in general and the Aztec language, Nahuatl, in particular. Scholars interested in beginning projects will find the list useful in determining if others are already working in a particular field. The list may also be used to answer questions about Nahuatl translations, historical details, and all aspects of Aztec life and culture. Anthropologists, archeologists, linguists, historians, and all interested in the Aztecs, are welcome to participate.

The languages of the list will be English and Spanish, although scholars are encouraged to submit pieces in Nahuatl. The list will be used as a primary means of publishing the guide to Aztec language manuscripts which was begun in Estudios de Cultura Nahuatl.

The owner hopes to develop a FTP directory where Nahuatl language texts can be stored for public use.
