“Hey everyone, it’s Xochitl back again with another Nahuatl lesson.” The sparkles emoji pops up with text saying “Happy Mother Language Day”.

“It’s international Mother Language Day, so what better to celebrate by paying tribute to my and probably your mother language, Nahuatl.”

Greenscreen opens up to map. “So many words we know today come from Nahuatl.”

“Nahuatl is the most widely spoken Indigenous language in North America. It belogs to the Uto-Aztecan family of language. It’s related to the Huichol language of Nayarit, the Yaqui and Tarahumara of Chihuahua, the Hopi of Arizona, and the Shoshone Indigenous language of Wyoming.”

“The Nahuatl language experienced it’s Golden Era in the 15th and early 16th century. During this time, the Nahautl language spread from Western Mexico to the Gulf Coast and even parts of Central America.”

Picture in background changes to a art recreation of a Nahuatl city, with the three names of the greatest cities, Tenochtitlan, Tetzcohco, and Tlacopan.

“These theee cities right here are the greatest empires of the Mexica People.”

New picture pops up of an ideogram of Nahuatl language.

“This right here is pictographics script, which is how the Mexica People used to communicate and write down their Nahuatl language. To this day, along with written manuscripts in Spanish, that’s how we preserve the Nahuatl classical language.”

Ano ang Nakikita ko?

(Click photo for HD)

Mga bagay na di nakikita o maipaliwanag ng mga payak na mata…

Kung ano ang totoo at hindi totoo.

Tinutulay ko ang ilog na pumapagitan sa purok ng mga tao, mga yumao, at mga engkanto.

Ako ang gabay ng mga naliligaw, mga nalimot, at di matahimik.

Ako ang lakan ng mga nawawalang bagay, nawawalang kaluluwa, at nawawalang pag-asa.


Translation under the cut


What do I see?

Things that the naked eyes cannot see or explain…

What is real and what is not.

I fare the river that flows in between the realm of the living, the dead, and the enchanted.

I am the guide of those who gone astray, the forgotten, and the restless.

I am the numen of lost things, lost souls, and lost hope.

His last comment translates from welsh as:

thank you very much everyone and good night

Yes, you’re the asshole of course
As the comments are yelling themselves hoarse
Your daughter is fine
She’s bilingual - don’t whine!
So thank god you’re showing remorse.
