deen the breen Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hey everyone I was wondering what was the language spoken by aztecs? I hope this question is not to silly, but I would really like to know more about the aztec language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingua Franca Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Nahuatl and varients of it are still spoken in Mexico to this day. So if you are interested in learning it, it's still possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingvo Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 The modern dialects of Nahuatl spoken in the Valley of Mexico are closest to Classical Nahuatl, which was the tongue of the ancient aztecs. According to sources, is spoken by about 1.5 million people in Mexico. The majority of speakers live in central Mexico, particularly in Puebla, Veracruz, Hildago, San Luis Potosi, Guerrero, Mexico (state), El Distrito Federal, Tlaxcala, Morelos and Oaxaca, and also in El Salvador.

111kg Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I think that it's safe to assume that the Nahuatl language that is still spoken today has little to do with the language that was spoken by the aztecs, not to say that we still don't know too much abut the aztec civilisation.
