Tlatoani (IPA: [tɬaʔtoˈ(w)aːni]; plural tlatoque, IPA: [tɬaʔˈtoʔkeʔ]) is the Nahuatl term for the ruler of an altepetl, a pre-Hispanic city state. The word literally means "speaker", but may be translated into English as "king".[1] A cihuatlatoani (IPA: [siwaːtɬaʔtoˈ(w)aːni]) was a female ruler, or queen regnant.[2]
