Mexico Photoart of Hugo Brehme in 1925
Mexican culture had spread in successive waves from the high plateau districts to the lowlands. Thus we find names of villages and ranchos in an ancient Nahua dialect in the district of the Rio Panuco. The Pipils of Guatemala and Salvador and the now extinct Nicarao of Nicaragua, who spoke ancient Nahua dialects, are descendants of the Toltecs. It becomes evident that during these migrations older pre-Mexican tribes were partly scattered and partly squeezed in enclaves. This explains the patchwork appearance of the peoples and fractions of peoples which strike us when looking at the map of languages still spoken in Mexico.
