Although the Aztec empire fell with the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlán in 1521, the language of the Aztecs, Nahuatl, is by no means dead.
Kuigi asteekide impeerium langes aastal 1521, kui Hispaania konkistadoor Hernán Cortés vallutas nende pealinna Tenochtitláni, pole asteegi ehk nahua keel sugugi kadunud.
