About the Nahuatl language 

Cool

It is not Aztecs, they are Mexica!!!! Boba!!

Thank you for this awesome video I am learning about the uto-azteco cultures and history , the Hopi prophecy is really nice

I'm happy for you that you got a sponsor this means you are growing

Thank You ❤️

Any advice on how to learn it? I'm an American self-learner

кйих ок нели немойга ин тлалтикпак ан ночипа тлалтикпак сан ачика я никан. тел ка чалчийтл но хамани но теокхйтлатл ин тлапани .. Modern Nahuatl is more like the Russian or Japanese of the Americas, its not similar to Latin at all. Its parallel to Russian and Polish in its conjugation and preposition sytling. Even when using the Cyrillic Alphabet the cyrillic alphabet is more closer to true Nahuatl (науатль) prononciation than the latin alphabet. So Xochtli is сочи Coyotl is коётл , Atzlan is ацлан. кйих ок нели немойга ин тлалтикпак ан ночипа тлалтикпак сан ачика я никан. тел ка чалчийтл но хамани но теокхйтлатл ин тлапани ... ¿Kwix ok neli nemowa in tlaltikpak? An nochipa tlaltikpak: san achika ya nikan. Tel ka chalchiwitl no xamani, no teokwitlatl in tlapani, But its also parallel to Japanese in that both languages are very vague hence why Japanese uses kanji to explain metaphorical conecpts into exact meanings with 1 character.

@@chibiromano5631 what are you talking about, latin uses fusional conjugation like slavic languages do. Nahuatl is meanwhile an aggluntinative one.

@@evaphillips2102 Canal nahuatl 1 curso de nahuatl.

@@Motofanable bruh , stop , you don't even speak both langauges. all 3; latin, russian and nahuatl are Synthetic tho. its just latin is fusional. i' just said Nahuatl is like the Russian and Japanese of the Americas.

wow! my whole family is also from puebla (cinco señores) and everyone speaks nahuatl too, i moved to the US when i was 1 and sadly didn’t grow up learning nahuatl even though it was spoken at home because i was learning spanish and english at the same time, i’m trying to learn on my own since i am in college but will eventually learn from my family :-)

@@saturnssrings19 My dad was from a small town in Puebla (Santa Ana). My grandparents spoke Nahuatl but purposely did NOT teach their six kids because they wanted the kids to focus on Spanish! 🙈 My dad always wished they would’ve been taught Nahuatl. I also wish they had taught my pops so myself and my brothers couldn’t picked up Nahuatl as kiddos and spoken it as adults. My sisters name is Xochitl, my brother Cuactemoc and Moctezuma. I gave my two kids Nahuatl middle names: Tizoc and Nenetl. Our last name is Macuil, also Nahuatl! Now we just need to learn!

How beautiful

I do too. The Easter Bunny taught me. Big fush!@

we speak Nahuatl too from Brownsville Texas tribe.

It is but that commercial in the middle made me vote it down, and I really don't expect I'll be watching many more of these.

@@dr.elvis.h.christ Do you know how little RU-vidrs (mostly small RU-vidrs) get paid if they don't do sponsorships? It's horrendous. And it gets worse every time there are adpocalypses.

@@azure9729 Without getting into the questionable ethics involved in the blind pimping or products, I use YT to avoid the noise of regular commercial television not to have to still suffer through ads. If someone must use ads, put them at the end where they can easily be skipped. if compensation is the goal, I suggest a donation model using Patreon or Paypal. Ads are a dealbreaker for me.

Pialli notemachtica! I hope you are doing well and can continue your lessons soon!

@@dr.elvis.h.christ a boo hoo go cry to your mommy!

Hello I wanna learn Nahuatl de la Huasteca also.

Yes learning languages that use totally different systems than our native's can do that to us! Happened to me with Swahili and I come from a Portuguese Creole/Portuguese/Latin languages background.

I grew up in la Huasteca. My parents speak nahuatl fluently but for my case and my brothers a well we didn't grow up speaking nahuatl but Spanish. As an adult I understand nahuatl but I can't speak it. After watching this video I am going back to my hometown to learn it.

Learning a new language, especially one that isn't related to your own, changes your outlook and understanding. I learned Korean, myself, and it did change my outlook and thought processes a bit.

@@Luis-xe9og If you can unserstand a language when it is spoken, learning how to speak it is, while not easy, simple. As you have already halfway past the hard part, which is being able to think in that language and then turn that thought process into speech.

I have always wanted to learn one of the indigenous languages of Nunavut in Canada! I'm a Dutch student though.

@@asaasa7900 They have that cool writing system where the consonants rotate to show which vowel they use. I like that. It's like a logic puzzle or something.

Yes, so sad your people wiped out indigenous languages from their own land!

@@angelasmr8818 Again, not our fault. We should bring awareness to it, stand in solidarity with them, but white guilt is a needless and ineffective construct. Blaming Europeans (which is a weird classification in general because we have many cultures and languages, many of which did not partake in significant colonialism, especially through a US lens) is like blaming ALL Japanese people for the war crimes only certain soldiers committed to Koreans in world war 2, or blaming Jews crucifying Jesus

@@asaasa7900 eh 😐, I don’t blame whites in general, I love whites, I just blame Anglo-protestants (The US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand) and all white Anglo countries, I love ❤️ other whites, I love Spaniards, Russians, I think Greeks are the best o wait, you as an Anglo Saxon consider Southern Europeans as whites? Cuz y’all are too racist that’s why I ask. I’d rather call it “Anglo-guilt” not white guilt cuz I’m not blaming other whites, just white ANGLOS.

I believe Sumerian does 5+1 (feel free to correct me).

Probably not so strange as we have 5 digits .

convergent evolution

Los idiomas utilizados por los nativos americanos (azteca-maya-inca y otros) son el proto-turco. Los nombres de los dioses aztecas, mayas e incas son turcos o prototurcos.

Nice, we Somalis do the same as well.

That’s so cool!!

Ometeotl🙏🏻💜

@@LexusFox im confused by your comment bc I’m currently starting with learning the language, but I know that means “two” and the Nahuatl interpretation of the word “God.”

@@metzli_moon It’s also used as an expression when for example you’re done saying a great statement or when someone says something great, idk if you’ve ever been with the Mexica tribes of Mexico but I have and it’s more than just “dual-god”, in a way it’s roughly similar to when christians say “AMEN” after someone says something they consider great.

Yes, in fact Ometeotl was the dual god creator of the universe in the Mexica mythology (but more like the Greek concept of Arjé, sometimes seen not as a god but as a vital force embracing all creatures). He had two personalities or faces: Ometecutli (the Dual Lord) and Omecihuatl (the Dual Lady), and was also called the "Tlohque Nahuahque" (all the Close and Together) and "Tonacatecutli" (the Lord of Our Flesh). Other adjectives for him were The God Without Temple, the Everyone's Friend and the Creator of Itself.

@@hernandezpachecoguillermo3551 exactly, I feel like for all of us who are learning Nahuatl and aztec culture, going to live with tribes helps a lot to fully grasp the meaning of the words. Like I noticed the American understanding of some words is very limited due to cultural limitations, like Tlazocamati is often just used as thank you when in reality it has a deeper meaning than simply thank you. I realize some Americans also see Ometeotl as "a two god", and that’s because of the influence of monotheism in the US. Definitely recommend if possible to travel and hear Nahuatl spoken by natives and how they used these words to fully understand them.

That’s a very good point 👍🏻 thanks for sharing!

I was feeling this, but you expressed it very well!

This cracked me up lmao

Her ancestors don't want colonisers

@@safslut01 You might want to study Aztec culture and history. Then reread your comment from that new context.

@Michelle Texas

Texas was from Mexico

Bruh, most of us aren't even Iberian. We didn't become a Spanish speaking country until the 1940s under Lazaro cardenas when he made learning spanish mandatory for students. Around 80% of mexicans still spoke native american languages in the census of 1908 by Gustavo Madero. Mexican culture is Native American culture not European iberian. I mean there are enclaves of them in the condessa and polanco districts and mixes of them in guadalajara but there is also French and Italian and Gitanjo and Lebanese too. But Mexico City is mainly Otomi people and Mixtec, its just the news media like Televisa tries to whitewash our history to the public.

@@chibiromano5631 bro you speaking straight facts!!

@@chibiromano5631 jajaj nmms i just noticed your pfp and username lmao

Aztec language doesn't exist. It's náhuatl, or as we say nāwatlahtolli, mexikatlahtōlli or masewalahtolli.

@@chibiromano5631 that's because Spaniards did not force them to learn Spanish but taught them using their native languages.

Thank you

Yes it is. Nahuatl tl sound is to Welsh ll sound what the ch sound in "church" is the the sh sound in "shell".

@@guidoylosfreaks The 'ch' in church is different to the 'sh' in shell, he latter is softer. There is a 'ch' in Welsh , but it is different again, it is similar to the Scottish 'Loch' or the Spanish 'J' when they say 'Baja' !

@@brentwoodbay linguistically speaking the ch sound is a t sound and a sh sound pronounced at the same time or the affricate version of the fricative sh. Nahuatl tl is a t sound and the Welsh ll pronounced at the same time or the affricate version of ll. You can also find the ll sound of Welsh in Nahuatl as an allophone of l before consonants as in "altepetl" hill.

The Tl sound in Nahuatl is actually similar the tlingit Tl in Tlingit-Na Dene language. Classical Nahuatl is highly latanized and is not the natural nahuatl.

@@chibiromano5631 I didn't think Salishan was connected to Dene? Sencoten is part of the same family as Salish? The older speakers of Sencoten say the LL sound just like we do in Wales, but the younger ones sound like an Englishman trying to say it! With them, it comes out like a 'CL' or a 'SH' !

You will love it! It happened to me, I started learning it and look at me now, making videos about it 🤭 Good luck with nahuatl, noiknih!

Biscochoteee

What part of México hablan otoml?

@@joecostu1571 Hello my friend, the state of Hidalgo is the one with the highest number of Otomi speakers, but also the state of Mexico, Puebla, Queretaro, Guanajuato among others, huge greetings,🖐️ "Rhä mhàkhã zhïdhãdhã dhâ züāhï" = "Que El Gran Dios te cuide"🙏

It really is a worthy oponent xD

lol same with Finnish

It is not "Americas" it is America, the languages ​​of pre-Columbian America. False idea and information on the part of the gringos in seeing the American continent as if they were two, just because they say so. As if we have to accept everything they believe. America is the continent, not the ridiculous name "the Americas." What a stupid thing.

@@cu9424 Remember these are the same people that classify us a 'Latino' ' Hispanics' and 'Indians'. Latinos means somebody from Latino Italy , Hispanic means somebody from Hispania-Iberai, Indians means somebody from Hindus valley in India. These people don't know geography for shi*. It's the WASPS and West Canadians that are Anglo America ; wtih Quebec being French Canada , but Mexico and Navajos and are 'OG' ' Legacy' americans. In fact the Uto Aztecans are related to the Salish. and Salish are related to the Yenesians of Russia via Haplogroup Q - the American gene. Yenesians were found to carry 80% of haplogroup Q. But i'm not starting shi* w/ Gringos. The people in US are friends. In the Midwest many of the Gringo there aren't really gringo s because many of them are Scanadanavians, Polish and Volga German and a few to maybe half of of them are mixed with Iriqouis and Algonquin. When Gringo settlers arrived to Ohio, the Iriqouis actually called the Finnish, ' snow man that is just like us. ' meanwhile the Wasps were called ' white foreign man' . But yeah, many in the south are the scotch irish , the irony is that they too were kicked out of their native lands in Albion, by the english during famines..and yet they went on to the americas and do to others what what was done to them.

The incas spoke the quechua languagues, and those languages are still used in South America. And this channel has also a video about them

@Sina mas de un millon de mexicanos nativos hablan nahuatl y sus diversos acentos ademas de mas de mil dialectos como el otomi , zapoteca , maya , raramuri , yaki etc. Asi que si es una lengua viva que quiero aprender

true. Indeed I was surprised too
