Nahuatl Translation Services You Can Trust
With more than 1.7 million speakers, Nahuatl is the second-largest language in Mexico. The language has been inherited by modern-day Maya people from the heights of the Aztec Empire, when Nahuatl served as the lingua franca and boasted swaths of written records, poetry, and more. Though most also speak Spanish, in certain regions, such as La Huasteca, Nahuatl is the dominant language, with close to a quarter of the population not speaking Spanish.
Nahuatl is an extremely grammatically complex language. Hailing from the Uto-Aztecan family, it is polysynthetic, forming large words through a series of affixes. A verb can be marked with the subject, patient, object, and indirect object, as well as tense, aspect, and more. Pronouns and nouns alike can be marked with honorific suffixes to indicate respect, and Nahuatl compensates for its lack of a verb for “to be” by declining nouns for person. Nahuatl also uses a base-20 counting system instead of the base-10 system most of the world operates on. Indeed, translating Nahuatl presents numerous challenges. That’s why it’s so important to hire trained Nahuatl translation professionals who can guarantee quality in every translation.
