Man, if I were president of Mexico, I would make it so that Nahuatl is taught in schools as a secondary language at least. To accomplish this, I would tell the board of education to train native speakers of the language so that they can become teachers. By doing this, not only would sooooo many jobs be created (keep in mind that many native speakers are indigenous and sadly most of them are in poverty, so this would be a way for them to earn a decent living), but there would be a major preservation and appreciation of our past. We must never forget where we come from.

Yeah, but if they do that, what about the other indigenous languages in Mexico? Why should only Nahuatl get that honor? Also, I'm pretty sure that the president of Mexico doesn't have power to just declare that everyone has to study a given language. I agree that it would be nice if more Mexicans appreciated the country's linguistic heritage, though. My ex-wife is Mexican (and even though she looks more Southern European, is a mestiza), but when I would ask her whether anyone spoke Nahuatl in her family and how many people spoke indigenous languages in Mexico, she would be very dismissive of these languages as "dialects" and said the people who spoke them were poor and ignorant. Sad! (As Trump would say.)

TheLegendoftheWest Spanish didn't become popular in mexico until the early 1900s. You have to realize that up until the Mexican revolution 80% of mexican families were rural and had no education meaning they couldn't read or write in castilliano, they all spoke their native languages(maya,zapoteco,mazhauan). Even Benito Juarez didn't learn castilliano until he was 17 and Zapata didn't learn castilliano until he was 14. in the 1930s-50s Once reforms were made in education to accept all students, Spanish was the lengua frenca because it was the language that had all the jobs. All the manufacturing manuels were in english,spanish so rural mexicans had to learn Spanish from the MEstizos in the new cities they were immigrating to where there were jobs(D.F factories ,zacatecas-michocan mines, Monterrey autos). The person that invented this false mexican history that we all know of today was written by AMERICAN historian William PRESCOT. Basically 90% of Mexican history was refferenced to this guy's in accuate history. He even called the Mexicas the Aztecs. Which is why we know our ancestors as the Aztecs instead of the rightful Mexicas. I mean yes the Mexicans faced depletion of population but that was just one city. There was still Michocan,Yucatan, oaxaca,jalisco, toluca... cities that were never touched. Ever hear about the CHICHIMECA WARS. See false historians never tell you about the CHICHIMECA WARS...they love to glorify cortez and the fall of Tenochtilan but they never refer to the CHICHEMCA and TLAXCALLA,MAYA unanimous victories against the spanish.

icampos89 Mexico city and Cuernavaca and Veracruz were the main Spanish speaking cities. It wasn't realy until the 1900s that spanish began to dominate Mexico. That was due to the fact the Mexico became industralized and needed a workforce to work on machinery. Plus all the big industries were from Spain and the US. The problem is that there were no assembly, engineering manuels or management in Nahautl , thus Spanish became a lengua frenca. Also the Printing press advances of the 1700s made SPANISH a much quicker language to learn because there were more books in spanish and they were more cheaper to read than stone and carving heiyroglyphs of nahautl/otmi etc. The only way to get a education and to SPEAK SPANISH inthe 1500-1700s was in the priesthood or being really smart and enrolling at the university. in the 1900s that changed witht hte mexican revolution. Even in the 1900s. 80% of Mexicans were un educated and couldn't speak spanish. With the invention of Television in the early 1900 spanish triple its influence in Mexico.

Johnny Flores yes it is very odd. I grew up in a part of Africa where everyone spoke the colonial language (french) the Bantu business language (Swahili) and their tribal language (mashi or walega). to not speak one of the three African languages would be viewed as severe arrogance and treason. here in California Spanish is spoken as a badge of honor and a symbol of Mexican nationalism. if you live here you know that white people are perceived as handed everything on a silver platter and therefore not wise in the hard knocks. if you get on a plane and go to DF you will find that people embrace indigenous culture. get in a car and drive 2 hours in any direction and you will find that indigenous culture is discriminated against, in many cases at extreme levels. even in DF and yes in the California work place where this discrimination cannot take a foot hold the verbal slurs are a part of everyday language. coming from Africa it is just impossible to understand. I would like to learn it because I am curious if I can find links to Bantu languages or the semetic languages they have similarities with. I think Nahuatl holds keys to the history of the human race, but really it is in danger of disappearing because people are more interested in the narco culture los Angeles is force feeding them in a Latin based language. que desagradable

The vocabulary is way different but the grammar seems to be a less complex. There are less complicated conjugations and word order is more flexible. There are significantly less irregular verbs. So I personally like the regularity. The writing system isn’t standardized so that’s a downside and about 30ish variants. The words are also long due to agglutination.

Hello brother, very nice vid. I have a hard time learning Spanish n have wondered if I were to learn some Nahuat if that may make it easier? In another way I'm asking if there's a lot of similarities between Nahuat and Spanish ?
@paquiliztli
4 жыл бұрын
Sage Garden there are some similarities in but that’s only because Nahuatl borrowed some words from Spanish. But in terms of grammatical structure they are pretty different. Nahuatl is an agglutinating language. The words can be pretty long. And of course the majority of the vocabulary is new. If you speak mexican Spanish you might already know some Nahuatl words cuz Spanish borrowed Nahuatl words too

Estimado Diego ... I learn so, so much simply by hearing you speak, reading the Nahuatl, and having the English for meaning. I can use the Nahuatl like a puzzle, and extract what's going on in terms of language patterns. This is by far the best approach.

@@paquiliztli I've always found that classes get in the way of learning. For example, I see that 'Ninemi' means I live. That's useful and I'm practicing using it right away. As soon as I'm asked to look at a full verb conjugation chart however it becomes a total distraction. I would like to know the I form, Ninemi, and then the you form, and also how to say 'Where', so I can ask, 'Where do you live?'

+A Paquiliztli Nope, in El Salvador Nahuat (also Nawat or Pipil Nawat) is spoken. It's also a Yutoaztec language derived from Nahuatl but evovled separetly in an entire different context. Although there are some words that sound similar with the Mexica Nahuatl, they are two different and separate languages. It's almost extint by now with a few hundred speakers (most of them over the age of 70 or more) still active.

Im learning too, for the same reason thats its becoming a lost language. Im a mexican, mestizo of course, Im not shamed of my spanish(Basque and Galician) heritage or huichol. Im also been learning Euskara, the basque language, that was outlawed as well as catalan, and galician by Franco in Spain Franco only wanted Castilian spanish spoken. So you can see not just natvie americans were tried to be stripped of their langauge and culture by the Spanish state. Most mexicans are not 100% native american. Science and modern dna testing shows hispanics are the most racially diverse people. I know many of you will not like that statement or fact. Get over it, we are all connected. Most mexicans always have african dna 1% to 7% on average. There was mass african slave graves found throughout mexico. Historical proven,,,I know some of the racist mexicans will get upset about this. Cortez landed in the yucatan, montezuma heard out it from his messengers. He believed and most aztecs, that it was Quetzalcoatl returning to rule the people...the aztecs let themselves be rule by the spanish at first until, cortez wanted the religious human sacrifices to end, the natives got upset. so started the rebellion and war. Spanish colonized the country, intermarried with the natives...and the modern mexican was born Be proud of being mexican but be educated and not ignorant as many of us are when it comes to our complete history. Learn Spanish and nahuatl, Read mexican spanish history books. then you will understand what being mexican is about.
