Well, i'm nost sure about that yet. I'd like to have it where Rumsien didnt die off completely, but have it influence Montreiano just a bit. I wonder, do any of the Mayan or Aztecan languages influence regional varieties of Spanish in Mexico and Central America? Perhaps, the ending -taruc is so ingrained intot he minds of the people as an ending for city names that it becomes productive? (maybe not). __________________________________ L E A Ñ I O N Ò U O, U N A E Á N Ò U A
