ES TLAXCALLI, NO TORTILLA
La palabra Tortilla, no es una palabra mexicana ni proviene de ninguna lengua mesoamericana, es de procedencia española.
La palabra "tortilla" proviene del latín y significa "pequeña torta".
Los españoles nombraron "tortilla" al "Tlaxcalli" (Tlashcali), nombre original en náhuatl de la tortilla mexicana.
Una prueba de que la palabra "tortilla" no proviene del náhuatl, es que el náhuatl clásico es decir de hace 500 años, no tenía la letra "R".
De hecho, en el idioma náhuatl prehispánico; no existían los sonidos correspondientes a las letras B, D, F, J, Ñ, R, V, LL y X.
Los sonidos que más han generado confusión son los de la LL y el de la X.
La LL en palabras como Calpulli, Tollan, Calli no se pronunciaba como suena en la palabra llanto, sino como en lento; la X en todo momento se pronunciaba sh, como shampoo, en inglés.
Este es un pequeño dato sobre nuestra principal base de alimentación: La Tortilla.
