Piyali notequixpoyohuan,
	"Totlahtol" is a Series of the University of Warsaw, IDIEZ and other collaborating institutions, for publishing monolingual works in all variants of Modern Nahuatl and Classical Nahuatl. Works are standardized to the orthography of Campbell/Andrews/Karttunen. We hope to accomplish two things with this Series: 1. Get monolingual works of Nahuatl from all variants across space and time into the hands of native speakers, especially young students; 2. By rigorously standardizing the orthography of all variants across space and time, and "flooding the market" with these works, we hope to break the eighty-year political impasse that has prevented the orthographical standardization of Nahuatl. The first work, in the sub-series, "Toconehuan", is a children's' book, "Malintzin itlahtol", written by Refugio Nava of the University of Tlaxcala. The paper version is now being distributed, free of charge, in Nahua communities and in educational institutions. You may download a free pdf copy with the following link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15911797/malintzin_itlahtol.pdf or go to www.macehualli.org under Publications. When you read the book, you will not only recognize the orthography, but you will be able to appreciate how Tlaxcallan Nahuatl has evolved over the last 500 years. Have fun!
