¡Nahuatl!

Ancient Tongue Linked to Aztec Past
Some of you curmudgeons from the old board should appreciate this article...

Besides, isn't it gratifying to see Nahuatl being used in a way that doesn't send you screaming from a post topic?

An estimated 1 million people, including more than 25,000 Mexican immigrants in the United States, speak some form of Nahuatl (NAH-wa-tl, with the "l" nearly silent).
This is where it gets tricky.
There are 12 ways to say hello, and five ways to say "to eat," Vazquez said.
Right up a glutton's alley.
