Long before the Spanish ever set foot on Mexican territory, the land was abuzz with the sounds of hundreds of indigenous languages, spoken far and wide across what would eventually become Mexico. Among the biggest and most influential of these languages was Nahuatl, the primary language of the Aztec Empire. Many people aren’t aware that Nahuatl (and hundreds of other indigenous languages) are still spoken in Mexico today. Nahuatl is broken into several varieties, such as Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, our newest translation language.
Among its dozens of variants, Nahuatl boasts a total of 1.7 million or so speakers, so Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, with its 200,000 native speakers, stands as one of the largest varieties. It maintains a strong community of speakers in its region, but like other indigenous languages in Mexico, it faces a persistent threat from the ubiquity and prestige of the dominant language in Mexico: Spanish. That’s why it’s so hard to find translation services dedicated to Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, but we at TranslationServices.com are eager to fill the gap with our very own Sierra Puebla Nahuatl translation team.

Sierra Puebla Nahuatl: an important indigenous language of central Mexico
Sierra Puebla Nahuatl is spoken natively in the northwestern regions of Mexico’s central Puebla state. The language, itself a variety of Nahuatl, is divided into multiple dialects: Highland Puebla Nahuatl, spoken in Zacapoaxtla; Northern Puebla Nahuatl, spoken in Naupan; and Tenango Nahuatl, spoken in Zacatlán, Ahuacatlán, and Tepetzintla. If we zoom out, we see Sierra Puebla Nahuatl belongs to the Uto–Aztecan language family, bearing distant relations to indigenous languages in the US, such as Hopi, O’odlam, and Shoshoni.
In terms of its grammar, Sierra Puebla Nahuatl is like any other Nahuatl language—complex. Word order is generally free, with speakers largely able to construct sentences in any order they see fit, with different orders impacting the overall nuance. Verbs are jam-packed with grammatical information, not only the tense, aspect, and mood information that verbs in many languages contain but also markers for the subject, object, and even indirect object. Possessed nouns in Sierra Puebla Nahuatl take a possessive prefix that indicates the person—that’s a relatively common linguistic feature—but unpossessed nouns take a special absolutive suffix, which is much rarer. If you’re concerned about the grammatical complications of Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, however, you need not worry—our translators are native speakers eager to translate to and from their language.
