Extent of Nahuatl

[John F. Schwaller]

Dear List members,

In the fifteen or so years that I have had the honor of running Nahuat-l
one of the leitmotifs has been the use of Nahuatl in the California prison
system.  A month does not go by that I am not requested to assist an inmate
in learning Nahuatl, or an order for the Foundation Course on Nahuatl.
Similarly individuals who identify themselves as guards also request this
same information.  I have no idea what if any actual activity goes on
behind bars in Nahuatl.  All I can report on is the queries which come to me.

J. F. Schwaller,
List Owner
