Nahuatl also know as Aztec or Mexican, is the most widely spoken indigenous language of North America. It was spoken by the Mexica (Aztec) centuries ago and continues to be spoken by millions in Mexico and Central America today. It belongs to the Uto-Aztecan family of languages, a linguistic complex that is very widely diffused throughout central and northeastern Mexico as will as the American southwest. It is related to the Huichol language of Nayarit the Yaqui and Raramuri (Tarahumara) of Chihuahua, the Hopi of Arizona, the Shoshone of Wyoming, the Comanche of texas, the Luiseno of California, and the Paiute of Oklahoma.
The Golden Age of the language coincided with the period of Aztec dominance from the early fifteenth to the early sixteenth century during this period the language spread from central to western Mexico, to the Gulf Coast, and into Central America. Nahuatl enjoyed its greatest flowering in the valley of Mexico, where the great cities of the empire were located: Tetzcohco, Mexico-Tenochtitlan, and Tlacopan, the capitals of the Mexica empire. ~ anon
