Addition by księżycowy:
Here is my resource list for quite a few CSAILs.

Nahuatl Resources In English/United States

Postby TONY-Nahuatl » 2009-10-13, 7:32

Hello, I've always been interested in learning Nahuatl as part of understanding my Indigenous heritage. However one of the problems I've come across repeatedly is that the more extensive, in depth resources are most usually in Spanish. I however speak minimal amounts of Spanish.

Is there any literature or course books that might be of use for someone who is predominantly an English only speaker that is interested in learning Nahuatl from the ground up? I would like to reach as high of a level of fluency as possible and would like to gather as much SOLID information as I can.

Secondly does anyone know of any courses/classes in the U.S. that teach Nahuatl. Preferably in the TX area seeing as how that is where I live. But any locations I assume would be beneficial to others reading this post.

Thanks guys.

By the way Mizton I am currently reading your course and it is amazing, and in English lol. Thank you.

Hello Tony :)

I agree with you, most sources are in Spanish... or French, even! haha, but there's not much in English. Fortunately, right now it's becoming more popular in Mexico, especially in the capital. But as you say, most materials are in Spanish. I have 3 books on Nahuatl, all written in Spanish, and right now I'm in two different courses, but i'm in Mexico City, I have no idea if you can learn it in Texas.
I hope my course helps :P at least to start

Thanks for the reply Mizton :)

I've been hearing a lot of the growing usage and interest in Nahuatl; I think it is a wonderful thing. My old friend actually goes to live in Mexico every summer among native speakers (she doesn't speak much Spanish either) and has been picking up Nahuatl rather well I hear. Unfortunately I don't have the same luxry, lol.

Anyways back on topic. Would you mind posting the names of those books you mentioned? I guess having a good recommendation is better than none regardless of the language it's written in.

Of course, the books I have are:

"Llave del Náhuatl", by Garibay (classical)
"Mahtitlahtocan Nahualahtolli (¡Hablemos Náhuatl!)", by Xochime (CD included) (Mexico City)
"Tlajtolchihuali, Palabra en Movimiento: El Verbo", by Crispín Amador Ramírez (Huastecan)
"Guía para hablar el idioma Náhuatl", by Ángel Zúñiga Navarrete (Tepoztlán, state o Morelos)
"In Oc Ticchía In Godot", by Samuel Beckett (Bilingual (Nahuatl - Spanish) version of the play "Waiting for Godot") (CD included) (Classical)

You can also start online with these two great sources:
1) http://mexica.ohui.net/ (Central Náhuatl, classical and a bit of modern from Mexico City)
2) http://oz.plymouth.edu/~wjt/Nahuatl/Nahuatl1.pdf (from the state of Puebla)

I've realized that the modern version from Mexico City is not far from the classical one, they are mutually intelligible.
I hope this helps

What about that book?

I've heard it's quite good. Unfortunately I don't have it yet, cause I have to order it from US. And it's expensive :P

For a resource in English there's Lonely Planet's Quechua Phrasebook, it's not a thorough look at the language but it's still pretty good, lot's of hispanicised words though.

Sorry about that but it does give you a rundown of the grammar and phrases, hope it helps it's so very hard to find good resources for any Aboriginal language.

Hey, for a language like Quechua, anything is better then nothing! :D

I already have a copy of Introduction to Quechua anyway, so I should be good for the grammar and such. Just wish it had audio to go with it.

Very full, new Nahuatl-Spanish and Spanish-Nahuatl dictionaries can be found at http://aulex.ohui.net
Еdition of Feb-2012.
They contain a lot of modern terms such as "internet" which is "semtlaltikpamatlatl"
The spelling there is slightly different than classic, but more comprehensive.
Simbol Z eliminated, S introdused instead.
Simbol Q replaced by K.
H replased by J.
C eliminated.
If you don't understand Spanish, like me, your can use Goggle Translator (like me). Not a big deal.
You can download dictionaries as zipped html, or just use online in dialog mode.
Highly recommended.

Yay! Aymar Arux Akhamawa is back!
I'm still working off the version they had posted at the CLAS site of the U of Chicago (well, I'm not really working off of it, as I'm not studying Aymara yet). Though at the price they have it for, I might be sticking with my old copy. Or at least waiting a while to buy it, as I am curious what has changed (if anything aside from the addition of the original Spanish).

I'm also curious what my new Quechua find, Quechua Qosqo-Qollaw, is like. For 25$ I think I might just risk buying the first volume soon.
