This article is about Nahua people of Mexico. For the indigenous language of Peru also called Nahua, Yora or Yoranahua, see
Yora language.
The Nahua are a group of indigenous peoples of Mexico. Their language of Uto-Aztecan affiliation is called Nahuatl and consists of many more dialects, some not mutually intelligible at all.
The Nahua peoples are supposed to have originated in southwestern United States split of from the other Uto-Aztecan peoples and migrated into central Mexico at some point around 2000 BCE. They settled in and around the Basin of Mexico and spread to become the dominant people in central Mexico. Some important
Mesoamerican civilizations were of Nahua ethnicity, for example the
Aztec culture as well as the
Tepaneca,
Acolhua,
Tlaxcalteca, and Xochimilca, and many more. Some speculate a presence of Nahuan cultural groups in the ancient citystate of
Teotihuacan.
