== Origin==

The Aztec writing system derives from writing systems used in Central Mexico, such as [[Zapotec script]]. [[Mixtec writing]] is also thought to descend from Zapotec. The first [[Oaxaca]]n inscriptions are thought to encode Zapotec, partially because of numerical suffixes characteristic of the [[Zapotec languages]].<ref>Justeson (1986, p.449)</ref>
