„Malintzin Itlahtol” is the first publication in modern Nahuatl in standardized orthography based on colonial orthography and contemporary linguistic knowledge about morphology. It is also the first book in „Totlahtol” series and children´s subseries „Toconehuan”, edited by Dr. Justyna Olko and Dr. John Sullivan. The author Dr. Refugio Nava Nava is a professor at the University of Tlaxcala and conducts research on preservation and revitalization of Mexican indigenous languages.
