I have attempted to conform to a standardized Nahuatl orthography as far as possible, but I have made some exceptions for clarity and brevity; these are noted below. The Nahuatl orthography generally follows J. Richard Andrews's Introduction to Classical Nahuatl. Because no length marks have been used in the text, vowel length is not displayed; except as noted below, however, the glottal stop (h) has been added as appropriate. |

| Pronunciation | | c + a/o | as in can | | qu + e/i | like k in kit | | c + e/i | as in cease | | z + a/o | like s in sod | | ch | as in church | | chu | like ckw in backward | | cu/uc | like qu in quick | | h | as in hill (but, strictly, a glottal stop) | | hu | like w in wake | | uh | like wh in wheel | | tl | similar to tl in settler, but a single sound | | tz | like ts in hats | | x | like sh in ship |
|
All other letters are pronounced with standard Latin values.

In general I have not tampered with the form of the Nahuatl |
