English, I suppose.  If it's good enough, I'd translate it into Spanish, where
it would have a better audience, I suppose.  But since I'm mostly writing it
for myself, it's hard to imagine writing in anything except English, for now.

Nicaraguan tradition relates Gil Gonzalez and other conquistadores ran into
the Nicarao on the shores of Lake Cocibolca (Lago de Nicaragua), descendents
of the Nahuatl.  The Chorotega lived in small communities in the mountains,
and on the Atlantic coast were communities of Miskito, Zambo, Sumu (Mayangna)
and Rama.  I don't know anything about the Nahuatl being a class that ruled
others, but honestly I still know very little about the Nahuatl in general.
