| Publisher Description: By emphasising interethnic communication in largely quotidian contexts, this issue breaks new ground in the examination of colonial language, investigating the many ways in which Nahuatl shaped the lives of all inhabitants of New Spain. This special issue of Ethnohistory highlights new aspects of the use of Nahuatl as a lingua franca during the colonial period. |
