Carrot- I assume Azteca is Mexican Spanish and not Nahuatl?
Dunno wtf Azteca is, but Nahuatl is the pre-Columbian language of the Aztecs, so obviously zero relation to Spanish whatsoever.  It's still fairly widely spoken in Mexico IIRC, but I guess by Mexican hillbillies or something.  I think the various Mayan languages are much more widely spoken however.

Yeah, that was kind of the point.  :P

I think Carrot is making shit up again.  I've googled "azteca" and "azteca language" and neither make any sense.  I guess that's what he was trying to get across (a difference between European and American Spanish) but I can't find a single reference to someone using Azteca in that manner.

More often than not, European Spanish is called Castilian (specially on DVDs/blu-rays) and they put L.A (pun intended) Spanish for Mexican most of the time ;)
