New study of the Nahuatl writing system

[Gordon Whittaker]

Dear friends and colleagues,

If anyone is interested in seeing a fresh study of the system of writing
used by the Nahua of Central Mexico in Aztec and Early Colonial times,
feel free to drop me a line. My article 'Principles of Nahuatl Writing'
has just been published in the journal Goettinger Beiträge zur
Sprachwissenschaft, No. 16, pp. 47-81. It offers a detailed examination of
the key characteristics and the principles behind Nahuatl writing, and it
reviews recent attempts to categorize the system. The PDF that I can send
has an advantage over the print version in showing the glyphs in color
(where present).

Best,
Gordon
