Aztecas A náhuatl-speaking people of Central America who, in the 14th century, established a brilliant but tyrannical civilization in central and southern Mexico. The capital was Tenochtitlán, which became Mexico City. Renowned for their jewelry, the Aztecs were also skilled architects. They worshipped the plumed serpent Quetzalcóatl and the war-god Huitzilopochtli, appeasing him with human sacrifice. The Aztec empire collapsed in 1521 after defeat by the Spanish under Hernán Cortés and Pedro de Alvarado. Bable or Asturiano A variety of Castilian spoken in Asturias. It went into decline when the kingdom of Castile achieved political dominance and imposed Castilian on what became Spain. By the 20th century it was confined to rural areas.
