Pipil (natively Nawat) is a Uto-Aztecan language which is similar to Nahuatl and which was spoken in several parts of present-day Central America before the Spanish conquest. Although it has been on the verge of extinction in western El Salvador and has already gone extinct elsewhere in Central America as of 2012 new second language speakers are starting to appear. In El Salvador Nawat was the language of several tribes: Nonualcos Cuscatlecos Mazahuas and Izalcos.
