Thank you
I enjoyed the setting and detail…I thought of something…native Americans don’t have one language with dialects but fully formed languages that are not mutually intelligible but as the voice of the character is far in the past and this information isn’t necessary to tell the story nor would your audience know or care about linguistic details. I studied anthropology and although much of my work is part sci-fi it is also inspired by Mesoamerican culture…many people act like the Aztec culture has no connection to Ute culture but because their languages are in the same language family…the Uto-Aztecan language family. Indigenous American culture or interaction didn’t obey modern borders and the Aztec people are said to have left Aztlan in Blythe California head south to Tenochtitlan or Mexico City following a religious prophecy I wrote my books to use the publishing money to help my family and romance a woman I think of as my Palmela…I felt she deserved me to try to build a gilded cage for her and I to have children together. But that was the past…
