Event Description
Like all languages, Nawatl is not homogeneous. Canger argues that the variety of Nawatl spoken in the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, was the result of the convergence of a number of dialects spoken by people who had flocked to the city from the provinces.
Speaker
Una Canger is a professor emeritus of Native American Languages and Cultures at Copenhagen University and the recipient of Mexico’s Order of the Aztec Eagle for her cultural contributions.
