Uto-Aztecan languages are spoken in the North American mountain ranges and adjacent lowlands of the western United States in the states of [[Oregon]], [[Idaho]], [[Montana]], [[Utah]], [[California]], [[Nevada]], and [[Arizona]]. In [[Mexico]], they are spoken in the states of [[Sonora]], [[Sinaloa]], [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]], [[Nayarit]], [[Durango]], [[Zacatecas]], [[Jalisco]], [[Michoacán]], [[Guerrero]], [[San Luis Potosí]], [[Hidalgo (state)|Hidalgo]], [[Puebla]], [[Veracruz]], [[Morelos]], [[State of Mexico]], and in [[Mexico City]]. [[Classical Nahuatl]] (the language of the [[Aztecs]]) and its modern relatives, the [[Nahuan languages]], are part of the Uto-Aztecan family. The [[Nawat language]], a Nahuan language, spread to [[Central America]] in a wave of migration in the [[Pre-Columbian era]] and had many speakers there. It was extinct in [[Guatemala]], [[Honduras]], and [[Nicaragua]] and is nearly extinct in western [[El Salvador]], but it has undergone a recent [[language revitalization]].
