Many years ago I was employed by a school teaching English to non English-speaking kids in Dublin. One time I tried a few words of Irish (Gaeilge) on some Mexican kids. I heard one asking another "que es eso?" (what's that?). Without hesitation the other answered "es el Nahuatl de Irlanda" (it's the Irish Nahuatl). Astute kid.

I am from the far Asia and I have learned Nahuatl by myself for two years due to my great interest in mesoamerican civilization. It's absolutely interesting! But I do recommend you all to learn Classical Nahuatl. Not only because it has many study resources to be found, But also through my own observation, the intelligibility between different Nahuatl branches isn't as low as you think, because most of them stay generally the same with grammar and vocabulary . Never consider Classical Nahuatl is like Latin, and modern Nahuatl languages are like modern romance languages, they haven't been so different like that. I learned Classical Nahuatl, and I understood everything in the video very well! Also I am able to generally understand Huastec Nahuatl(the northern branch in the video). However, the Nawat variety spoken in far El Salvador is almost not intelligible due to a lot of phonotic changes! However the Huastec branch has the largest speaking population, so it would be a good choice too.

Our word "chocolate" also comes from Nahuatl, from a phrase literally meaning "bitter water."

so glad you're covering a native american language! nahuatl, quechua and mapudungun are languages that definitely don't get the attention they deserve

For those interested in listen to more nahuatl, I recommend search 68 Voces: Cuando Muere una Lengua: Náhuatl, a really beautiful poem about languages, readed in nahuatl. 68 voces is an project relationed to the indiginous mexican languages.

Langfocus nimistaskamatiliya miak ten tihteneshtiliya pan ni taishyekalisti. Na nihuechiua nahuatl, onka tamanti ten amo nikishmati, pampa miak tamanti nikihtoua ka español. Yes, we can understand each other with other varieties of the modern Nahuatl language, only a few words change. I speak Nahuatl from the Huasteca Hidalguense region.

This is great. I would love to see one on Yucatec Mayan, the most widely spoken indigenous language in Mexico (if we consider the different mutually unintelligible Nahuatl dialects separate languages). What's also interesting about Yucatec Maya is that it covers a very large area (three Mexican states and parts of northern Belize and Guatemala, and it's still the same variety of Maya) the one that spans the most territory of all Mayan varieties).

Glad you talked about Nahuatl there's a lot of languages here in Mexico, like Mayan or Mixteco

Classical Nāhuatl truly is the most beautiful language in sound and most elegant in grammar; we really ought to cherish it and its surviving literature as much as Greek or Latin and its modern varieties deserve wider recognition.

I love how the grammar is covered and the examples give you a basic idea of the grammar. It's fascinating how they adopted SVO from Spanish and have some similar pronunciations to Spanish.

Nahuatl is coming back in a big way. I have met a considerable amount of people who not only speak the language but also teach it.

Icelandic also has a TL sound, written as LL, so Eyjafjallajökull is pronounced Eyafyatlayökutl 😁🇮🇸🇲🇽

I am Mexican, I live in Mexico City and speak Spanish as most of the people in my country. It is not common to listen to people speaking indigenous languages in the big cities, and these languages are not taught at schools. I learned by myself one of the many variants of Nahuatl and most people asked me: “What for? You will never speak Nahuatl.”

All the official languages (Spanish, Náhuatl, Mayan, Mixtec, etc) must be taught, analyzed and practised at national level of written, visual and oral form from Initial even Secondary.

Excellent. I use Nahuatl a lot on my channel. I’ve also covered Mexico’s other minority languages. Thanks for the show! Adelante 🌶

You know it’s interesting because this reminds me that my Linguistic professor told me that Mexicans, even if they don’t speak Nahuatl, use the [tl] sound in words such as “Atlas” and the phoneme is unique at least among the Spanish speaking countries.
