'Aztec writing' or 'Aztec hieroglyphics' is the name given to the Prehispanic writing system that was used during the period of the Aztec Empire (1431-1521). It is a term also often used for the continuation of this system as used in the first century of Spanish colonial rule in Central Mexico by indigenous scribes, although in both cases 'Nahuatl writing' is a more appropriate term given the fact that the system was used beyond the borders and time-frame of the Aztec Empire.
