Reseña

Nahuat-Pipil is an Indigenous Uto-Aztecan language spoken in El Salvador with approximately 100 speakers, many of whom are socially and economically vulnerable (2022). This story was inspired by
speakers living in Santo Domingo de Guzmán in El Salvador, who I met through our collaborative work and research to better understand the relationship between language, land, environment and heritage. To some, Indigenous languages might seem outdated or old-fashioned, however, when we take the time to learn an ancestral language, we learn to see through eyes of our Elders, and connect to their deep wisdom and knowledge. Our heritage languages are our roots and when we accept where we come from, we can walk with self-awareness, integrity, and stability, and have a better impact on the world. This book hopes to inspire children and adults alike to reconnect with their
ancestral and heritage languages and cement the relevance and importance of such languages in the modern world.
