      Modern Nahuatl is more like the Russian or Japanese of the Americas, its not similar to Latin at all. Its parallel to Russian and Polish in its conjugation and preposition sytling. Even when using the Cyrillic Alphabet the cyrillic alphabet is more closer to true Nahuatl (науатль) prononciation than the latin alphabet. So Xochtli is сочи Coyotl is коётл , Atzlan is ацлан.

    I would say that there is no "need" for a standardized version. Like with Cherokee, there will eventually be a regularized vertsion. Modern Cherokee has two main varieties, Western (a mix of several varieties that merged together because of Indian Removal), and Eastern (from the Eastern Band - Overhill variety, from those who stayed/hid in the mountains during Indian Removal). Those of us who participate in things like Facebook and Wikipedia localization choose and agree upon words, and there is the Cherokee Language Consortium. The language just becomes regualrized in written form, but local varieties are preserved. Standardization kills local dialects. It is a "dangerous" practice rather than a useful one. Learning to understaned those who speak differently in the same language (continuum) aids in the ability ro learn other, non-related languages. Multilingual Africans, and African Americans are prime examples of this. If one is used ot code switching, learning a language becomes less foreign.

      Yes, in fact Ometeotl was the dual god creator of the universe in the Mexica mythology (but more like the Greek concept of Arjé, sometimes seen not as a god but as a vital force embracing all creatures). He had two personalities or faces: Ometecutli (the Dual Lord) and Omecihuatl (the Dual Lady), and was also called the "Tlohque Nahuahque" (all the Close and Together) and "Tonacatecutli" (the Lord of Our Flesh). Other adjectives for him were The God Without Temple, the Everyone's Friend and the Creator of Itself.

      @@hernandezpachecoguillermo3551 exactly, I feel like for all of us who are learning Nahuatl and aztec culture, going to live with tribes helps a lot to fully grasp the meaning of the words. Like I noticed the American understanding of some words is very limited due to cultural limitations, like Tlazocamati is often just used as thank you when in reality it has a deeper meaning than simply thank you. I realize some Americans also see Ometeotl as "a two god", and that’s because of the influence of monotheism in the US. Definitely recommend if possible to travel and hear Nahuatl spoken by natives and how they used these words to fully understand them.

      Bruh, most of us aren't even Iberian. We didn't become a Spanish speaking country until the 1940s under Lazaro cardenas when he made learning spanish mandatory for students. Around 80% of mexicans still spoke native american languages in the census of 1908 by Gustavo Madero. Mexican culture is Native American culture not European iberian. I mean there are enclaves of them in the condessa and polanco districts and mixes of them in guadalajara but there is also French and Italian and Gitanjo and Lebanese too. But Mexico City is mainly Otomi people and Mixtec, its just the news media like Televisa tries to whitewash our history to the public.

    You should do a video about the Zapotec language from the Isthmus region in the state of Oaxaca Mexico. Most people still speak Zapotec in their daily lives there and it sounds really fun.

      @cu9424 2 роки тому +3

      It is not "Americas" it is America, the languages ​​of pre-Columbian America.
      False idea and information on the part of the gringos in seeing the American continent as if they were two, just because they say so. As if we have to accept everything they believe. America is the continent, not the ridiculous name "the Americas." What a stupid thing.

    • @chibiromano5631
      @chibiromano5631 2 роки тому +2

      @@cu9424 Remember these are the same people that classify us a 'Latino' ' Hispanics' and 'Indians'. Latinos means somebody from Latino Italy , Hispanic means somebody from Hispania-Iberai, Indians means somebody from Hindus valley in India. These people don't know geography for shi*.
      It's the WASPS and West Canadians that are Anglo America ; wtih Quebec being French Canada , but Mexico and Navajos and are 'OG' ' Legacy' americans.
      In fact the Uto Aztecans are related to the Salish. and Salish are related to the Yenesians of Russia via Haplogroup Q - the American gene.
      Yenesians were found to carry 80% of haplogroup Q.
      But i'm not starting shi* w/ Gringos.
      The people in US are friends.
      In the Midwest many of the Gringo there aren't really gringo s because many of them
      are Scanadanavians, Polish and Volga German and a few to maybe half of of them are mixed with Iriqouis and Algonquin.
      When Gringo settlers arrived to Ohio, the Iriqouis actually called the Finnish, ' snow man that is just like us. ' meanwhile the Wasps were called ' white foreign man' .
      But yeah, many in the south are the scotch irish , the irony is that they too were kicked out of their native lands in Albion, by the english during famines..and yet they went on to the americas and do to others what what was done to them.

  • @MrSulfurMustard
    @MrSulfurMustard Рік тому +1

    This is very good content over a really complex topic. Thanks!
    Nahuatl is best described as a macrolanguage, so rather than composed by "dialects" it is a language family of sorts. Those languages can be mutually unintelligible --e.g. Mexicanero and Pipil. A fair amount of these are spoken by descendants of groups which did not coallece with the Aztecs (e.g. Tlaxcalans and Pipiles). Nahuans occupied so much territory that there used to be a dialect chain from the northern Huasteca to the very Isthmus, in some cases even intertwining with other ethnic groups to the point of losing their identity and/or their language --e.g. Chichimecos, Pames, Matlatzincas, and Tacuates. It's a bit analogous to what happened with the whole Indoeuropean family (or Romance languages, for instance), which were also dialect continuums that became eventually differentiated into independent languages. It is also worth noting that we only have suboptimal classifications for these languages, as per example the Huastecan and Guerreroan varieties have been grouped on the basis of really small lexical lists and surveys in just a few locations. After all, one and a half millenia can't pass by without societies and language families changing radically, and the hot mess that Nahuatl is hasn't been the exception.
