[@walterpayton2120]

Do they give specifics as what Native American groups the DNA belongs to? Like if they tell me you have 5% Native American, I wouldn’t pay them 300 bucks or so to tell me something I already know. If the say 2.5 % Huichol, 2.5% Apache for example, that would be really interesting and revealing

[@Jess11591]

They do tell you what region your ancestors came from in Mexico. My parents are from Zacatecas and it showed that half of my DNA was Native American pertaining to the Chichimec or Chichimeca. Which checks out. Mexico is such an amazing country. I know so much about American history yet not much about Mexican history. To discover the parts where both histories intertwine is intriguing. I want to learn more about Zacatecas. My parents didn’t finish elementary school in their village, so they don’t even know much about their own history either. I’m first generation American but I’m also aware of how important it is to learn about our parents’ nation’s history. Especially when I live in a Southwestern state like southern California. This U.S. state’s history has Mexico’s history as a main character to its origins as well.

There's a KZbinr that did his and he was from a indigenous village so he had no European ancestry in his DNA. There is also a community on one of the ancestry websites that help Mexicans trace their indigenous origins. Apparently the Catholic church keeps great records because some have been able to see through marriage documents when 2 natives were converted and given Spanish names. Thus seeing what the names of their indigenous ancestors were before and after being converted.

[@blerst7066]

In case you're wondering why Mexico is pronounced like 'Meshico', there are two reasons. 1. In Nahuatl, 'x' is pronounced like 'sh'. 2. In Spanish, 'x' was pronounced like 'sh' or 'zh' in the 16th~17th century. This is why they used 'x' to write down Nahuatl's 'sh' sound. As time passed, 'x' became a voiceless velar fricative, which is why 'Mexico' is pronounced something like 'Mehico' by modern Spanish speakers. The change didn't happen in Nahuatl, so it's still pronounced like 'sh' to this day.

​@@SmileyGirl22100 Yes, Aztlan (which could mean white place or crane's place) was the original place (or mitological depending on the sources) where the nomad people came from, somewhere around the north of Aridoamerica. For generations they travelled south to Mesoamerica, where they finally settled where the profecy became true (the eagle eating a snake in a cactus, like the Mexican flag) and they decided to found Mexico-Tenochtitlan, to stop being nomadic and settle as a new civilization, renouncing to the name aztecs and calling themselves Mexicas from that point onwards.

Your way of explaining our history is very easy and understanding. Because in real life is very complex. We are a beautiful amalgam of races, colors, flavors, languages and cultures. Our country has been in a turmoil long before the Spanish conquest and still is. Stability seems so far away, an utopia, difficult to achieve. I hope one day, we are able to embrace our past and make peace with it, to star a new era, where our leaders stop fighting to empower themselves, but to empower our country.

I like it how you pronounced Mexico as Meshico. Whenever you see Nahuatl language and see an X it’s pronounced with an Sh sound.

[@carloscarlin114]

Except that the word isn't in Nahuatl but in Spanish so it shouldn't be pronounced with a sh sound, the name comes from "Mejico" (pronounced Meh-He-Co) which is how the spaniards renamed Mexihco-Tenochtitlan after they founded New Spain.

[@fireproxy9707]

The Spaniards romanized the Nahuatl language that’s why it’s an X, but there is no writing of the Nahuatl language only in hieroglyphics. But I’m just saying that the original way they said Mexico in the Nahuatl language is Meshico.

[@SonorenseComun]

yeah, but not just as an Sh, also as our J (pronounced as H in english), as an S, also Ch (like sh but less smooth), and also as a regular X (or cs)

[@Alvalence]

@@fireproxy9707 the mexica did have writing and it still exists today. They had dedicated glyphs for dedicated sounds, it just wasn't standardized. It can be compared to modern Japanese in that they have glyphs with meanings and glyphs for sounds like kanji and hiragana.
