We have a serious problem here. I don't believe the Aztecs had a writing system capable of transmitting the spoken word.

Someone will have to document this or the entire article will have to be deleted as a fabrication.67.161.166.20 (talk) 21:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

They did have a form of writing, although I don't know if this was actually used to record poetry. Miguel León-Portilla, in Fifteen Poets of the Aztec World (ISBN 0806132914), thinks it was. But even if it wasn't, the poems/song could have been passed on orally. The fact is, we have Nahuatl texts written in the Latin alphabet in the 16th century, attributed to pre-Columbian authors like Cuacuauhtzin. --Ptcamn (talk) 23:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
