Where is Nahuatl language spoken?

Question

Where and who by is the Nahuatl language spoken?

Answer 1

Spoken in Mexico, barely in Central America, and probably in southern california, arizona, new mexico, and texas, where a good portion of the immigrants (legal and illegal) are of mexican-indian descent, some of which may be nahuatl speakers. Language, like people, are die-hards and travel.

Answer 2

Mexico

Answer 3

nahuatl is spoken by a little over a million individuals in mexico. it is not the primary language, spanish is. it is also not spoken in central america, only in certain regions of mexico. primarily in pueblo, morelos, parts of mexico city, parts of veracruz, a few other regions. most of the speakers are bilingual in spanish, though a handful speak only nahautl. there are a variety of dialects, the northern pueblan dialect being probabaly the closest to classical nahuatl.

Answer 4

Nahuatl is the language spoken by the Aztecs of central america and Mexico.

Answer 5

Well, William is quite close, though the States in Mexico where it is mostly spoken are Puebla, Veracruz, Guerrero and Morelos. He is also wrong on saying that it is not spoken in Central America. There is a small group of Nahuatl speaking people in El Salvador, the Pipiles. There is also a small group in northern Mexico, the Mexicaneros.

In Mexico City there are also a large amount of Nahuatl speaking people, both as a mother tongue and as a learned language.

Answer 6

Anywhere in Mexico and down into Central America in numerous, I forget 30something or 40 dialects. I'm told by native speakers that it's more widely spoken than Spanish in Mexico - although Mexico's web pages' demographics deny that. Considering that Mexico's Census is also a pretense, they've no more idea of the population than I know the count of fleas on a mutt, the PTBs could be wrong about the more widely spoken language as well.
