Jalisco Nahuatl

Jalisco Nahuatl, also known as Western Nahuatl or Western Mexican Nahuatl, is a variety of Nahuatl historically spoken in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Its endangerment status is unknown; INALI considered that there were still speakers in the municipality of Cuautitlán de García Barragán in 2008, although there is no modern linguistic study that describes it as spoken there. Bibliographic references commonly describe the variant as it was spoken in the municipality of Tuxpan, south of Zapotlán el Grande (formerly Ciudad Guzmán). In 2008, it was reportedly still spoken in Colima, which INALI calls "Western Low Mexicano". Valiñas Coalla (1979) had predicted its extinction before the year 2020. Ethnologue does not consider it in its general scheme, nor does Glottolog classify it in its descriptive scheme.
