Why Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl?
Nahuatl, the language of the Mexica or Aztecs, continues in living regional forms. Every spoken course must be grounded in a particular community; there is no single neutral modern form called Central Nahuatl.
Itzli centers Chicontepec because it has a substantial Nahuatl-speaking community and an established curriculum created with Nahua teachers and speakers. You learn one coherent language people use today, while the culture track connects it to Mexica history and Classical Nahuatl texts.
