- In this Nahuatl Pronunciation Guide, guest starring Tlahuimiztoni, we show you how to pronounce Nahuatl words using the Latin alphabet and two different types of orthographies: Classical and Modern. We hope you enjoy, and that this becomes a helpful tool for you to use in learning the Nahuatl language.

Please continue these I want to learn this. Taking back what was stolen from me 🦋
You can find nahuatl learning materials on amazon or online in general.
I feel the same way. I just bought a book on Amazon. And I know a couple of guys that are from Oaxaca hopefully they speak Nahuatl that way they can teach or help me out. Good luck on your studies

@@trollmastermike52845so sad to lead such a miserable life. Do better.
Tlazohcamati for you, teaching very well Our mother language, regards from Chimalhuacán (place of scutums) Estado de México.
Man... this is sooo important. I know a young dude in Jalisco who grew up speaking Nahuatl, and he's embarrassed for having that knowledge. Now, we don't need to go down the road of "why?", but I'm confident thanks to your videos and others that someday his kids won't feel this way... why do I a European-American care? I like to use this metaphor to explain my sentiments... When there's a family or group of families that have lived in your neighborhood for years and years you look up to them, you give them the respect, because they've been around long enough to understand patterns of the location or developed a strong culture. It's the same thing with the Americas as a whole. P.s. why not give a name check to your friend in the description!?
Thank you for supporting the channel! Her name is included in the description.
This is cool.
The round one at your back you is smae as Kerala(state in India) indigenous dance style

Yes
Is there a way to donate? I love these videos and really want to learn more...MeQiCaya 🔥 💚
Thank you for your descriptions you really helped me with the TL sound at 9:03
definitely a bit confusing for beginners when there are so many variations. Thanks for breaking it down! More videos please!
Loving your channel, man! I'm a senior in college learning to become a history teacher. I'm making a unit plan on Mesoamerica civilizations and found this for my Aztec section. I love learning what you are teaching. You are better than I

Hola chicos. Este hicieron muy bien por favor continúen quiero aprender.
I always thought "X" was pronounced "SO' not "SHO"
I sometimes hear the X pronounced like an S in Modern Nahuatl, but the S sound is usually represented by C (before E or I), Z or S.
This guy is insane not many people do this. He is literally carrying history. Bro never stop doing this....this is important work. you are making history.
This so awesome! Tlazocamati. Look forward to the next ones!!
Thanks for your videos. Please keep them coming. Could you do one with pronunciations of names (people & places) like Chalchiuhtlicue, Xochiquetzal, and Iztaccíhuatl, etc? Even if I think I might know how groups of letters sound, I'm not always sure of the accent/emphasis on the syllables.
I just released Episode 6: Nahuatl Names. I'm thinking of making another episode on place names.

:DDDD holy hell im so glad i found this!! this is awesome!!! thank you so so so much for sharing this guide, it's wonderful :) really is important work like everyone says!
Cualtitoc! 🏵🙏🏽🏵
Tla xikchihua video itechcopa quen molhuiaz tlahtolltica in quipiya "glottal stop." (What I tried to say was please make a video explaining with detail using the glottal stop. For example i know tleco is "in the fire" and tlehco would mean to rise. Another example would be "Miyac in tiquìiyhuìquê, auh oc miyac in tiquìiyhuzquê"
We've endured a lot and we'll endure a lot more. And Tixèquê, tinacacèquê. Ive just been using the modern way of pronouncing the glottal stop by using the "h" sound but I wanna know how to speak with the glottal stop in a conversational setting. Tlazohcamati nocniutzine
This is amazing. Languages are so awesome. I'm not sure how I ended up here, but I'm subscribing! also, could anyone help with a pronunciation in Nahuatl? the word is "guaraxez", is it "wa-ra-shehs" or gwa-ra-shehs"? or am I completely wrong?
No, Chapolin isn't Grasshopper, but one of my favorite TV shows from my childhood 😂
My dad is Thomas Kindkaid I've been photographwd in Argentina since 538ad thanks
where do I get one of those shirts?? " A tribe called red"
We got our shirts from their concert in SF but you can order them from their website: atribecalledred.myshopify.com/
If i could make a request my favorite flower is a Poinsettia. And im a bit sad to find out the actual name of it is Cuetlaxochitl and I cannot find a way to pronounce it.
Kweet la show sheet
OR
Quit la show sheet
Cue -Tla -Sho” chit. , Cuetlaxochitl, the X sounds like an English Sh letter //. Or if you know Spanish, the pronunciation is the same except for the X its sounds like a Sh in shoe. Xochitl sho chit
"tl" in Nahuatl sounds just like "-ttle" in the British pronounciation of "little". Thus Cuetlaxochitl is pronounded as "Kuh-eh-tlah-shóh-chittle".
Can you please tell me how to pronounce MITZTEQUIPACHO? Thanks
What books would you recommend learning this I am of Aztec heritage !
Nice, video helped me pronounce the TL sound.
In "Tli" pronouncations do is it pronouced:
"TL" + "Li"?
How is that ending -tl pronounced? I hear it as a T at the tip of the tongue followed by a very soft click. Nahuatl sounds like Nā-wat-(th)
How do you pronounce my last name Xicotencatl?? I wanna see if I been saying it correctly. Ps my history teacher also had the last name but as his middle name
Hi mijo Tia loves you both!
How do you pronounce Tonati? Which means sun right?
I wanna be fluent in Nahuatl, where can I learn with online courses or something like that?
My last name is Tlaczani and I pronounce it KLaczani...am I wrong for that? I can’t seem to understand the pronunciation😭🤦♀️
I don't want to tell you how to pronounce your own last name but in Nahuatl "tl" is not pronounced as "kl." This mispronunciation sometimes occurs when a Nahuatl word enters Spanish, such as the word "escuincle" which comes from the Nahuatl word "itzcuintli."
Thank you! Google pronunciation guide could not help me
Thanks for keeping this language alive! What is your translation of Aztlan?
Az(tli): wing.
-tlan: locative suffix.
Therefore, Aztlan literally translates as Place of Wings. However, I've heard of more metaphorical translations like "Place of Herons." In Nahuatl, heron is aztatl, so Place of Herons would be translated as Aztatlan.
@@nahuatltlahtocan Thanks. Does that mean that “Azteca” could have meant winged people? Also, where can my family learn Nahuatl in the Bay Area?
Good job you two 🔥
Is classical Nahuatl understood by most speakers despite their native dialect? Or do miscommunications happen often?
Professor Fermin Herrera says it would similar to someone speaking Shakespearean English in modern day.
Nice! Felicidades hermano, excelente contenido. Keep up the good work.
where can I buy that shirt? it's beautiful and has great energy
Where is this mural located? I want to see it in person.
How do you pronounce Sacniete, white flower?
New sub 😊 we need more videos!!!🙌🏼👏🏼
Beautiful work. Remember you are on a sacred journey. Enjoy
In Central America nahuatle is spoken also
How do you say Pizza or how do you spell/write it ❤
yes, but how is tomanto pronounced?
5:05 “they tried to make it not confusing”
Aztecs:Huitzilopochtli,xoloitzcuintli, NimitztlaTlauhtia
Thank You This Was Alot Of Info👍
Is amuzgo a dialect of nahuatl?
How to say pumpkin or squash ?
San jo!
I would love to learn this language, but it sounds difficult and I would have a hard time retaining it since I don’t have anyone to use it with😔
You can take a more casual approach to learning if you want. You can learn a bit here and there when you're interested and leave it alone when you're not. And if you ever take a trip to South or Central Mexico you could brush up.
Just so you know this method works, I've used it to be able to say things like hello and thank you in these languages:
Dutch
Arabic
Chinese
Vietnamese
Japanese
Greek
Cherokee
Italian
Russian
To ask basic questions in these languages:
Choctaw
French
Hebrew
And I used more traditional methods to speak more extensively in these languages:
Spanish
German
The last two groups involve more extensive study and vocabularies of at least 500 words, but in the first group I only know 1 - 15 words maybe. It's very easy to "learn a language" just enough to say "hi, what's this, I like, where is, food, water, bathroom".
You seemed sad so I just wanted to give you other options, since often when we think of language learning we're actually thinking of language mastery (which is not necessary).
The only language I've mastered is the one I was born into: English.
Thanks you for the videos
what about the huastecan variety?
Asked my ancestors to teach me Nahuatl and they led me to you brother. Subbed so fast Nitze tialli pialli 🌄
So how would you pronounce "Tleyo" ?
these videos are great! thanks for sharing
👍👌
Thank you so much! I'm sharing this with my wife, who is from a Nahuatl region of Mexico, so we can together learn and share this language with our son to help grow the Nahuatl-speaking community here in the United States. Love the Seattle shirt! We live up near Bellingham.
I’m naming my daughter Xóchitl. Could you educate me a little bit more about that name ? Is it just a noun that means flower ?
I just released Episode 6: Nahuatl Names. I included my reply to this comment in the video. 😊
Awesome yt channel
How do you say "kuautik"
Thanks so much!
Wow! This is amazing work. Thanks for sharing. I love your pins btw. ✊🏾as you mentioned there are lots of different spellings depending on the orthography. Im wondering about the word Metztli. Ive seen it spelled Meztli and im wondering if it is wrong to spell it like that? For example if I was going to name a child that, is one spelling more incorrect than another?
Tlazohcamati! Nahuatl does not have standardized spelling so I would not say Meztli is incorrect.
Tlamahuizoltic! 😉🇲🇽👍🏼
Real Cualli work this video, tlazohcamati
Thank you 💕
I like the channel. when will we get some more video???
Excedingly Great Teaching:)
I need to meet you guys
Wow! I had the TL right but the X and Z and the H!.. probably a few more wrong. E'ecatl! 🤯 I learned SO much! "Shochitl"! I've been saying Sochitl this whole time. In all fairness I had a co-worker who's name was Xochitl and she pronounced it "Socheel"... she would tell Americans that it was like "So Cill" 😅🌈🤦♂️🙏🏼✌ I love learning Nahuatl. And Xochitl is still a beautiful word...and name. "Flower/Xochitl". ❤
Keep up the great work, looking forward to your future videos
Fascinating video series. I am just a white person, but I don't like to mispronounce words, and I like to show respect to the indigenous cultures. I have been totally saying words that end with 'tl" wrong all my life! Thanks for teaching me the right way.
Where’s the new one
Keep posting videos like this please
Tlazocamatli
It’s great to hear the pronunciation, thanks
🙌🏽❤️
Thank you guys for helping me reconnect with my culture ❤️
Love the back ground
Is that how you pronounce the Tl in classical Nahuatl?
Yes, and the "tl" sound is the same in Modern Nahuatl as it is in Classical Nahuatl.
New sub✊
I love this language. Love from 🏴
Love this.
Beautiful 👍
This is really cool and such as interesting language! Looking forward to learning more.
(Although I might need to re-watch this video if I need a refresher on the pronunciation since I'm probably going to have a thick, Michigan accent in this language!)
Awesome! Love the information and culture. I want to learn more.
When is your next episode? Willing to learn.
I just dropped Episode 7: Plural Nouns, check it out!
I hope you film more soon!
I found out from a podcast about experimental archeology that everytime I had heard the word atlatl, it was being pronounced _very_ wrong, and then I figured, oh wow, then I've probably been saying axolotl, Nahuatl, and Quetzalcoatl all wrong too. I understand that pronunciations change as words get loaned, but I felt it was important to know how they were properly pronounced. I am really enjoying learning a bit about this and intend to continue the series.
Please keep teaching us our native language. My name is John, I am reconnecting to my native roots❤
✊🏽 keep if up
We need a lot of vídeos like this because everywhere there is many words and phrases but we certainly don't know the correct pronunciation.
So happy I found you guys! appreciate you so very much for sharing. looking forward to your continued videos and if you ever start a zoom class, i would definitely join! much love!
Goodtl! Только Хуюгл так себе переводит субтитры.
these are so good! we need more
Love love love 💕✊🏽
