1. Nahua refers to “all related Nahuatl-speaking peoples who inhabited Central Mexico in the post-Classic period (1200–1521 C.E.) just preceding Spanish rule” (Read, p. 4; see also Baldwin, p. xi). Nahuatl designates the language spoken in Tenochtitlan and surrounding areas, which had become by the conquest a lingua franca in a large part of Mesoamerica.
