Aztec translator (nauatl)

1- If you want to learn how to speak nauatl, this can serve as a support along with your studies. It contains around ten thousand words and phrases that can help you talk like a native or an aztec.

2- Nauatl has various ways to be written, like the classical Spanish transcription (Náhuatl), or the phonetic transcription (na'uɑtɬ). The minimalist orthography on this site is similar to the modern orthography used nowadays in Mexico.
