Nahua

Nahua refers to a group of indigenous peoples in Mexico, particularly those who speak Nahuatl, a language belonging to the Uto-Aztecan family. The Nahua share a rich cultural heritage that dates back to the Aztec Empire and includes traditions, art, and history. They primarily inhabit regions in central and southern Mexico today. The Nahua community continues to maintain its identity through language, festivals, and traditional practices, despite facing challenges from modernization and globalization. The term "Nahua" can also be used to describe their linguistic and cultural contributions, which play a significant role in Mexico's diverse heritage.
