That’s “Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit,” for those of you who don’t speak Nahuatl. Granted, there are only 4,030 articles, compared the 2,061,296 in English; and there are shitload of red-dead links. I guess if those retarded Spaniards hadn’t given all the Mexica people Smallpox, the thing would be a lot better filled out (filled-out?). Whatever; you can totally end a Nahuatl sentence with a preposition.
Confidential to the Aztec dancer:
YOU. BETTA. INVOKE.

It's down to 4,019 now.
rock ON!
The entry on Alaska (Alazca) is longer than the entry for corn (cintli).
Under cuīcāmoxtli we find an illustration for a song-sheet (cuicamatl) of the evidently popular Mexica anthem Dixie.
Bizarre.
I love terrible animated gif files such as the one here.
@7:
Then you'll be pleased to learn that there are three others similar to this one, but with different dance moves.
@1
loved your joke
Actually, Nahuatl also has postpositions, and may actually not have prepositions (I don't know). Not to pick apart the humor, but linguists can't help it :P
And you can end English sentences with prepositions, despite what your fourth grade teacher told you.
What did you bring the topic I don't want to be told to about up for?
