Nahuatl data for AI training, collected to your brief

Nahuatl data from IndecalAI is collected or reviewed by a native Nahuatl speaker, not pulled from an existing archive. We work with speakers across the Americas, often alongside Spanish, Portuguese, English or French in the same community, matched to your brief and checked before delivery.

The short answer

What Nahuatl data can we produce?

Nahuatl data from IndecalAI is speech, text, conversational and translation data collected or reviewed by a Nahuatl speaker for your brief, not pulled from an existing archive.

This language is often spoken alongside Spanish, Portuguese, English or French in the same community, so a brief should say whether to keep that mixing or write a cleaner single-language version.

This sits across several of our services depending on what you need: data collection for raw speech or text, conversational AI data for dialogue, and translation and localization for converting between Nahuatl and another language.

Translation projects often pair this language with Spanish, Portuguese or English. See translation and localization for that scope.

About the language

What to know about Nahuatl before you brief it

Nahuatl is the language of the Aztec empire and is still spoken by a large community in central Mexico, mostly in rural areas. It is not a single language but a group of related varieties.

Different varieties can be very distinct from each other, to the point where speakers of one may not follow another, and there is no single universal spelling, since several conventions are in use. A project must name the variety and the spelling system. Speakers are bilingual in Spanish, and Spanish loanwords are everywhere, so decide whether to keep them in the data.

Languages that sit close to Nahuatl in script, family or region: Quechua data, Guarani data, Spanish data, English data, Haitian Creole data and Portuguese data.

Deciding what to specify for any language? The guide to speech data collection covers the choices that apply across languages, and the one on transcription for AI and for people covers how speech becomes text.

Four ways to request Nahuatl data

Each links to the service that runs it, with its full scope and process.

Nahuatl speech data

Recorded speech in Nahuatl: calls, prompts and voice bot utterances, matched to the community and reviewed before delivery.

Nahuatl text data

Written Nahuatl: messages, reviews, tickets or chat logs, written or labeled by people who read it natively.

Nahuatl conversational data

Scripted or spontaneous Nahuatl dialogue for voice bots and support agents, reflecting how speakers here actually mix languages.

Nahuatl translation

Human-verified translation between Nahuatl and Spanish, Portuguese, English or another language in the same project.

Before we start

What to put in a Nahuatl brief

Four things worth deciding before contributors start, so the first sample already looks right.

Region or dialect

Nahuatl is spoken mainly in central Mexico, in the states of Puebla, Veracruz, Hidalgo, Guerrero and others. Worth naming in a brief: Huasteca, Central, Guerrero and Isthmus varieties. Tell us the region or community you're targeting so contributors are matched to the right one.

Script or transliteration

Script for Nahuatl: Latin letters, left to right. Say whether you want the native script, a transliterated version, or both, especially if your downstream system only reads one.

Data type mix

Speech, text, conversational and translation can be requested together or on their own. Tell us the mix your model needs.

Volume and timeline

A rough sense of how much data and how soon lets us staff the right number of contributors from the start.

How it works

From your brief to reviewed Nahuatl data

One named contact owns the project from scoping to the last file.

  1. Brief

    You tell us the data type, the Nahuatl variety or region and roughly how much you need.

  2. NDA and scope

    We sign an NDA before any data moves, then agree the scope with you.

  3. Free sample

    We produce a small sample free, so you can check it before you commit.

  4. Production

    Contributors from our network work in our own tools, to the brief you set.

  5. Review

    A review pass runs before anything is delivered.

  6. Delivery

    The data comes to you, or moves on to another service with us.

Where it's used

Where Nahuatl data ends up

Common jobs for Nahuatl data. They're examples of the work, not a client list.

Voice bots and IVR

Recorded Nahuatl prompts and calls teach a voice bot to recognize how people actually speak, not just how a script reads.

Speech data

Support chat and tickets

Everyday Nahuatl messages, written in the domain you work in, give a chat assistant real phrasing to learn from.

Text data

Content moderation and sentiment

Labeled Nahuatl posts, reviews and messages teach a model to read tone and intent correctly in this language.

Conversational data

Localizing a product

Translating prompts, UI copy and training data into Nahuatl so a product reads like it was written for that market, not machine-translated.

Translation

Off-the-shelf, or built to your brief

Off-the-shelf Nahuatl data, or built to your brief?

We hold around 35,000 hours of off-the-shelf speech, prompts and conversations already collected across our network. We can't promise Nahuatl is in that pool until you ask, but it's worth checking before you commission a fresh collection. Here's how the two paths compare.

Glossary

Nahuatl data terms, in plain words

General definitions. They describe the field, not a claim about us.

Native speaker review
A pass by someone who grew up speaking the language, checking that phrasing, tone and spelling read naturally, not just correctly.
Regional variety
A version of a language tied to a place, which can differ in vocabulary, pronunciation or script from the variety spoken elsewhere.
Code-mixing
Switching between two languages within the same sentence or conversation, common in everyday speech in many multilingual regions.
Human-verified translation
A translation checked by a person, rather than machine output delivered as final, catching meaning a model alone would miss.
Off-the-shelf dataset
Data already collected and packaged before a buyer exists, sold as-is to whoever licenses it next, rather than produced for one specific brief.

FAQ

Questions about Nahuatl data

The datasets FAQ covers questions that apply across every category.

Do you support Nahuatl?

Yes. Nahuatl is one of 100 languages in this directory, part of our wider language coverage worldwide, including deep Indian language coverage. Tell us the regional variety you need.

Do you already have any Nahuatl data collected?

Maybe. We hold around 35,000 hours of off-the-shelf speech, prompts and conversations across our network, but we can't promise Nahuatl is in that pool until you ask. It costs nothing to check before you commission a fresh collection.

Can you mix regional varieties of Nahuatl in one project?

Yes. Tell us the mix of regions or dialects you need and we'll match contributors from our network to that brief.

Which data types are available in Nahuatl?

Speech, text, conversational data and translation to or from Nahuatl. Image and video categories don't depend on language, so Nahuatl speakers can also appear in those briefs on request.

Is a sample available before we commit?

Yes, a small free sample first.

Can this run alongside other languages in the same project?

Yes. Many engagements mix languages, domains and data types under one brief and one named contact, using our network of 30,000+ people across 150+ projects delivered so far.

What counts as a regional variety of Nahuatl?

A version of the language tied to a place or community, which can differ in vocabulary, pronunciation, formality or script from another region's variety. Name the region in your brief if it matters for your use case.

Can you handle Nahuatl in its native script?

Yes. Contributors work in the native script by default, with transliteration available if your project needs it instead.

Which variety of Nahuatl should I ask for?

Ask for the one your users actually speak. Nahuatl is spoken mainly in central Mexico, in the states of Puebla, Veracruz, Hidalgo, Guerrero and others, and the forms most worth naming in a brief are Huasteca, Central, Guerrero and Isthmus varieties. If you are unsure, describe your users and where they live, and your named contact will help you decide before collection starts.

How is Nahuatl written, and does it matter for the data?

Nahuatl data uses Latin letters, left to right. The script and its encoding affect how a model reads the data, so say in the brief which one you need and whether a romanized or transliterated version is also required.

Request Nahuatl data
