	Prologue to the Nahuatl Dictionary by Dr. Miguel León-Portilla
		Prologue to the Nahuatl Dictionary of the northern state of Puebla (translation)
		The authors of this present dictionary set aside this orthographic convention probably to simplify the pronunciation of these nouns avoiding the problem of some pronouncing them as though the double ll were the elle [y] of Spanish.
		Someone who consults the dictionary and finds in the section for words written with only one l, like cohuili, parasito; tlili, tizne; xali, arena; among many others, would think that the -li is the nominal suffix and therefore, the root of each one respectively would be cohui-, tli- and xa-.

	Nahuatl Pronunciation Lesson 1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Nahuatl long vowels are identified with a macron in the lexical entry form as shown in Table 1 (Andrews 4).
		The lexical form is the dictionary entry or vocabulary form of a "word." Long vowels in Nahuatl are pronounced similarly as the short vowels except for a longer duration (Sullivan 5).
		Nahuatl is an accentuated language, where the emphasis occurs on the adjacent syllable of the last syllable as denoted by an accent mark under the "Pronunciation" column of Table 1.

	Nahuatl language Summary
		Nahuatl (also sometimes spelled with an accent, as in Spanish, Náhuatl, or with a w, Nawatl, and in any case pronounced in two syllables, NA-watl ['na.watɬ]) is a term applied to some members of the Aztecan or Nahuan sub-branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, indigenous to central Mexico.
		Nahuatl is related to the languages spoken by the Hopi, Comanche, Paiute or Ute, Pima, Shoshone, Tarahumara, Yaqui, Tepehuán, Huichol and other peoples of western North America, as they all belong to the Uto-Aztecan linguistic stock or language family consisting of 61 individual languages.
		Nahuatl is often referred to as the Aztec language, or (especially in Spanish) as the Mexican language, because it was the language of the Mexica, i.e.

		Nahuatl Much of English is made up of words from other languages, and Nahuatl is a small but significant contributor in this respect, especially in the matter of cuisine.
		The word Nahuatl itself shows some of the distinctive structure of the language, but most loanwords have been modified in their journey through other languages (especially Spanish) to English, and less obviously indicate their Central American origins.
		Names of indigenous peoples were also adopted from Nahuatl: Aztec (via French Aztèque or Spanish Azteca from Nahuatl aztecatl "somebody from Aztlan"), Mixtec (via Spanish from Nahuatl mixtecah "somebody from a cloudy place"), and Toltec (via Spanish from Nahuatl toltecatl "somebody from Tula," an ancient Toltec city).

		Lockhart is one of the principal figures in the study of Nahuatl language and literature, and this book is the fruit of many years experience with the language and with teaching it.

	Report Submitted to FAMSI - David Bolles
		The reason for supposing that Yucatan is a Nahuatl word is because of the suffix -tan.
		The Nahuatl suffixes -tla and -tlan both indicate "the place of", although it seems that -tla indicates more precisely "the place where there is an abundance of".
		While the yucca plant is different from the various agave plants which grow and are cultivated in Yucatan (ci is the Mayan name for the cultivated henequen plant and cħelem is the Mayan name for the smaller and hardier wild plant) the yucca and agave plants share many visual characteristics.

	The Online Nahuatl Dictionary: A Model for Interdisciplinary Multicultural Collaboration
		Nahuatl, one of the world's indigenous languages, is facing serious threats to its survival.
		Nahuatl became an oral language, and fewer and fewer Nahua individuals were able to read the thousands of manuscripts written in Nahuatl (using the Roman alphabet, after about 1540) their forebears had left on archive shelves.
		As we are proposing it, the Online Nahuatl Dictionary project offers a unique model for interdisciplinary work that will help preserve an endangered indigenous language and, at the same time, create some of the tools needed for the analysis of neglected cultural heritage materials.

	Linguistic Exploration: Amith
		The first is that for both to be fully functional, grammars and dictionaries must be used in conjunction, the first providing the grammatical context for using dictionary material while the second furnishes the appropriate lexical base to operationalize a learned grammar.
		With Nahuatl this is a particularly challenging problem since this language is of interest to highly disparate groups: linguists, historians, anthropologists, theater and dance troupes, native and heritage language speakers, and simply the curious.
		The Nahuatl Learning Environment originated in an effort to elaborate a trilingual dictionary (Nahuatl to Spanish and English) based on approximately four and a half years of ethnographic fieldwork in two neighboring Nahuatl-speaking communities located near the Balsas River in central Guerrero, Mexico (see map): Ameyaltepec (3 years) and San Agustín Oapan (1 1/2 years).

		The kind of Nahuatl respresented in early Colonial texts is referred to as "Classical," in contrast to Nahuatl as it has been spoken in more recent times.
		Because a knowledge Nahuatl was so important to the early Spanish, it was an object of scholarly concern already by the mid-XVIth century.
		Although there are still speakers of Nahuatl, it is probably safe to say that all but the most elderly among them are bilingual in Spanish, and in general, later Nahuatl shows influence of Spanish as well as a continuing evolution of trends that were already going on in early Nahuatl.
