Flor Andere a Mazahua woman from San Pedro de los Baños, Mexico speaks about how she learned Mazahua through her grandparents.
She hopes the Mazahua language doesn’t die. She says she would like her children to continue to speak the language.
She
has two kids. One of them understands but does not speak. She would
like to teach the one year old girl to speak [Mazahua] so that they can
preserve the tradition and the origin where they come from since their
grandparents.
Flor tell us that she speaks Mazahua with her
aunts because they are old enough so that their only language is
Mazahua. She doesn’t speak Mazahua in the city because that’s where she
works but back in her hometown she tries to speak it as much as
possible.
