How would you translate for example the North German Confederation or the Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia?

hiiii! I am an artist from Central America and have been working on a personal project for a while. it’s a story about a girl that lives in Cuzcatlan and was raised by her magical volcano grandparents and spirit dog siblings. I was looking for a fitting name but my Nahuatl is very limited and I did find the name Xoco! I was wondering is there was an equivalent of this name but that means “olderst daughter” or “older sister”? also you you guys have any more suggestions for names please send them my way!

holllisss! Soy una artista de Centroamérica y tengo un pequeño proyecto personal en el que e estado trabajando por un tiempito. Es una historia sobre una chica que vive en Cuzcatlan y fue criada por los sus abuelos que son volcanes mágicos y sus hermanos que son perros espirituales. E estado buscando un buen nombre para ella pero mi Náhuatl es muy limitado y solo encontré el nombre Xoco! Estaba preguntándome si hay un nombre equivalente a este que se signifique “hija major” o “hermana major”? Si tienen más nombres bonitos que conocen, por favor envíenmelos!

¿Alguien sabe dónde podría encontrar eso? No puedo encontrarlo en ninguna parte.

Hi, I’m trying to write a message for my friend’s birthday in Nahuatl. I really don’t know much about the culture or the language so apologies if this seems ignorant or something. But could someone on here please tell me how one would wish someone a happy birthday in Nahuatl? Thanks!

I stumbled upon this and immediately got overjoyed. I have autism and some of my special interests are pillows and the Mexica people. My first thought is that it would be pronounced like the English word pillow with the t͡ɬ (voiceless alveolar lateral affricate) sound added on the end. Is this really how it's pronounced? Pillow is my all time favorite word and I say it often (vocal stimming). I want to find more words that sound like they have the word "pillow" in them. Are there any other Nahuatl ones?

Hello, for reasons, i need to know the unluckiest days in aztec calendar; but they also need to have passed while the aztec empire still existed. Are any day of any of the nemontemi good for this? And where can i learn when each nemontemi was, or the aztecs' last nemontemi? Any help would be appreciated

Hi! I found a very interesting quote and I would like to see if anyone can verify it’s translation?

auh ayc polihuiz ayc ylcahuiz yn oquichihuaco yn intlillo yn intlapallo yn intenyo yn imitolloca yn imilnamicoca

And what they came to do, what they came to establish, their writings, their renown, their history, their memory will never perish, will never be forgotten in times to come.

Hello! I'm doing a project where I am constructing a macuahuitl. Specifically, I want to make one of the shorter one-handed versions, which Marco Obregón refers to as "macuahuilzoctli". How should I pronounce this word? I do not want to butcher the pronunciation when discussing it, but I do want to use this more specific name as well.

Thank you!

I, like many others, am drawing inspiration from the Aztec culture for a fictional setting and wish to use Nahuatl for names. I have found several posts on here which explain how to form names and the basic rules which have been helpful. So as a practice, I've drafted one but wish to see if it's correct or close, not just for completion but also for me to gain a better understanding of the language.

The name is Coācuilōtlcuepōniā. The first part is coātl + cuilōtl (a crafted name for a whip if the structuring I read follows correctly) and the second is the verb cuepōniā which the Wired-Humanity dictionary states to mean "to cause something to make a thundering sound". From this, I intend the name to mean "she who makes the whip sound like thunder".

This is where my understanding is challenged: does the first portion modify the "something" detailed in the verb or have I crafted another meaning entirely? Does the verb need to be conjugated in a certain manner? All critique and advice is much appreciated!

Hi,

I'm an editor working on a children's book (8-12) about Mexico, and I'm looking for a sensitivity reader of Nahua heritage to ensure facts are correct and the text is accurate and respectful. The reader would ideally either be involved in the book industry (editor/writer, etc.) or have connections with Nahua communities (as well sa being of Nahua heritage) for authenticity. Any direction would be extremely helpful! The work is paid and the book would be about 5,000 words.

Thanks!

Is ixcoxochitl grammatically correct?

Does anyone know if Nahuatl was spoken is is still by the people of Nicaragua? Could Nicaraguenses be considered Aztec?

I'm Latin American myself, but I'm Brazilian, so I'm not sure. It wouldn't be mocking Quetzalcoatl in any way, I just thought it would look cute, like when people draw Anubis acting like a dog.

I want to accurately refer to my favorite musical instruments in plural?

I'm a newbie and I need your guys help. Also those who know classical nahautl can tell me their learning expirience, Thanks

My grandfather was from Puebla near Coatzingo. My dad every once in a while will drop a word in nahuatl and says my grandfather still spoke it well. I never got to know him because of the distance, but I inherited his name and I yearn to connect with my heritage. I would really appreciate if anyone had information about that particular region to help guide my interest in reconnecting with my culture.

Hello,

Any recommendations for a Nahuatl Pipil name?

My family is Salvadoran with indigenous ancestry. I’m a first-generation American and want to maintain our heritage in naming my daughter.

Thanks in advance!
