Ethnologue divides Huasteca Nahuatl into three languages: Eastern, Central, and Western, as they judge that separate literature is required, but notes that there is 85% mutual intelligibility between Eastern and Western.[3]
Huasteca Nahuatl currently has several proposed orthographies, most prominent among them those of the Instituto de Docencia e Investigación Etnológica de Zacatecas (IDIEZ),[5] Mexican government publications, and the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL).[6]
IDIEZ
Their orthography is based on the evolution of Classical Nahuatl. It is somewhat of a deep orthography based on morphology since it aims to provide a unified system across regions.
uses ⟨ca⟩, ⟨que⟩, ⟨qui⟩, ⟨co⟩ for /k/
takes morphology into account
uses ⟨za⟩, ⟨ce⟩, ⟨ci⟩, ⟨zo⟩ for /s/
uses ⟨h⟩ for /h/
Mexican government publications
Is influenced by modern Spanish conventions and is a very surface-based orthography. It aims to provide easy literacy across regions but with a different writing system in each one.
uses ⟨k⟩ for /k/
does not take morphology into account
uses ⟨s⟩ for /s/
uses ⟨j⟩ for /h/
SIL
Somewhat based on modern Spanish conventions, mostly surface-based orthography as well but does not completely dispose of Classical Nahuatl conventions.
uses ⟨ca⟩, ⟨que⟩, ⟨qui⟩, ⟨co⟩ for /k/
does not take morphology into account
uses ⟨s⟩ for /s/
uses ⟨j⟩ for /h/
Sample text: 'a book about my location.'
IDIEZ: ce tlahcuilolli tleh campa niitztoc.
Government: se tlajkuiloli tlej kampa niitstok
SIL: se tlajcuiloli tlej campa niitztoc
