 The 1990s saw the onset of diametric changes in official Mexican government policies towards indigenous and linguistic rights . Developments of accords in the international rights arena combined with domestic pressures ( such as social and political agitation by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation and indigenous social movements ) led to legislative reforms and the creation of decentralized government agencies like National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples ( CDI ) and Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas ( INALI ) with responsibilities for the promotion and protection of indigenous communities and languages . In particular , the federal Ley General de Derechos Lingüísticos de los Pueblos Indígenas [ " General Law on the Language Rights of the Indigenous Peoples " , promulgated 13 March 2003 ] recognizes all the country 's indigenous languages , including Nahuatl , as " national languages " and gives indigenous people the right to use them in all spheres of public and private life . In Article 11 , it grants access to compulsory , bilingual and intercultural education . Nonetheless , progress towards institutionalizing Nahuatl and securing linguistic rights for its speakers has been slow .
