Is it normal to be Mexican and not know Spanish?

Mexican is not a race, nor ethnicity. Spanish is a Western European Language regardless what countless anti-Iberian/Spanish trolls say Spanish is actually very related to Modern English with lots of Spanish words coming from Germanic origins. See my previous post to get the list.

There are hundreds of thousands out not millions of Native American Mexican that don’t speak Spanish.

Nahuatl population is 2,445,969 with Native Non Spanish Speakers at 1,659,029

Yucatec Mayan population 1,475,575 with Native Non Spanish Speakers at 892,723

Zapotec (Binizaa) population 777,253 with Native Non Spanish Speakers at 505,992

European Mexicans with Mennonites, German and Mormon speaking people in the hundreds of thousands that don’t speak Spanish as a Native Language.

In summation Just because you are Mexican and don’t speak Spanish doesn’t make you any less Mexican this is equivalent to being a Cherokee and not speaking Iroquoian from birth or Mennonite not Speaking low German. You are American there is no one can take that away from you or them. So in summation There are several million people within Mexico itself that don’t speak Spanish so if you don’t it won’t make a difference because you are not the only one.

One of the fun things about Shadow of the Tomb Raider is its language proficiency gameplay mechanic. And here's a brand new article from me about the game's so-called “ancient dialects”, Mam, Quechua, and Yucatec!

Josué Maychi on teaching Maya to the Wakanda Forever cast and a word play in one of Namor's lines.

The actor told us about a word play that only Maya speakers can understand. ---spoiler ahead--- “There is a phrase that Namor says that I had to translate that goes: 'Máansa'ab u nej miis tin wich' which in Spanish literally means 'They passed the cat's tail in front of my face with the hope of an alliance'. If you see cats, jaguars or panthers wag their tails when they go hunting because it is a way of hypnotizing their prey, so that image is what happened to Namor, that someone did that to him with their tail. I proposed it to the director and he loved it, because it refers to the panther that warned Namor, ” he said. Josué Maychi told us that in English the phrase was translated as: "I was blinded with the hope of an alliance", which in Maya metaphorically means that someone was deceived, since in Spanish or English it is not literal.

Compillation of Namor's lines in Yucatec Mayan In the interview for Cultura Colectiva, Josué Maychi, who plays the shaman in Black Panther : Wakanda Forever, spoke about his experience in the film in which at the same time, he collaborated as the Yucatec Maya coach for Mabel Cadena and Tenoch Huerta, every day for a period of seven months. “No one knew anything about Maya and my first approach with the actors was to ask them if they could pronounce the consonants and sounds that do not exist in Spanish, English or other languages, and I was very happy to discover that they could pronounce them” he commented.

How was the process of teaching Maya? “We had sessions by Zoom and then in Atlantla we had scheduled meetings because I needed to listen to them. The first thing I taught them was the sound of the words, because in Maya there are five types of vowels that have to do with time, and if if they prolongued (a vowel) it can mean one thing or another. I asked them to imagine their lines as a melody and also gave them recorded audios to listen to, read and even write. For example, Mabel created her own way of writing, she created her own writing to have a personal approach to the language, ” he said.

Do you remember any funny anecdote? “There is a phrase that we say in the film that is Líik’ik Talokan, (there's Wakanda Forever) which is said by the people of Wakanda. Once, Álex Livinalli wrote to me and asked what we could say for the world we were creating, about the new universe and in Maya. I thought about it and thought it might be that phrase, which means something like 'Long live Talokan' or 'Rise Talokan'. I proposed it to them, they proposed it to the production, they loved it and it was integrated into the script, ” he said. Finally, the actor pointed out that the representation of indigenous languages ​​IS very important to him and mentioned that there are Mayan people who have proudly written him messages of gratitude, since they understood what they saw on the big screen.

A moment of appreciation from an anthropology student regarding BP2: Wakanda Forever…

After the disaster that was The Eternals trying to recreate Tenochtitlan as a weirdly small looking RAINFOREST settlement (did they mix up the Aztecs/Mexica and Maya??? Wtf) with only one temple and no lake or canals in sight, I was so thrilled to see Namor’s Maya community be far more accurately depicted as being located in the Yucatan. The inclusion of Chaac and their prayers to him mirroring ancient Wakandan’s prayers to Bast and her gift was a very nice parallel that showed the similarities between Namor and Shuri before showing the stark differences between them in how Namor murdered the Catholic priests (honestly cannot blame him though).

Honestly there is so much I could say about Namor and how well the movie handled him and the Talokans. The traditional indigenous clothing, the use of jade (especially in Namor’s jewelry), the rainforest setting, the involvement of underwater caves, Chaac, the smallpox that the conquistadors brought with them when they colonized Mesoamerica, Namor’s very real rage towards the Spaniards for what they did to his people, the depiction of the enslavement of other Maya… it was so well done. Even Namor’s winged feet resembling hummingbird wings felt like a reference to how many Mesoamerican cultures believe hummingbirds to be connected to their most important and powerful deities. I give the movie a million thumbs up for those accuracies alone.

PS: I do still adore Eternals, but those inaccuracies… no thank you ma’am

not to be half maya, but, it's very telling how paganism overall gravitates towards indigenous ideas of 'animism' compared to European. Perhaps it's some aggravating books I've read, but I see people speak of "animal avatars" and such in a way that is clearly stealing from ideas of indigenous spirituality. Instead of being DIY animism, some pagans want to be indigenous so bad...

#I don't even truly consider myself indigenous due to disconnect and struggle to even look at yucatec maya culture #while some pagans can just waltz in... #dragonis.txt #paganism #pagan #witchblr #witchcraft #animism #spirit work

After viewing Wakanda Forever again, I think Namor says his catch phrase "Imperius Rex" twice. I could be wrong. But he yells something before throwing the water bombs at Ramonda and the caption just says "speaking Mayan" but I think it's the same as at the end with Shuri.

Can anyone who speaks Yucatec Maya confirm or deny?

Government Health Initiative: you should join an aerobics program.

Yaxunah women: i'm good thanks.

Government Health Initiative: so what will you be doing instead?

Yaxunah women: *creates all women softball team, becomes extremely successful, withstands crowds jeering at them for playing in huipil and barefoot, defies gender roles and indigenous stereotypes, inspires creation of League of Change, makes it to nationwide inagural tournament, and makes their ancestors and country proud*

that.
