text: That's awesome! You should note, however, that the "tl" phoneme in English and the "tl" of Nahuatl are different sounds. The Nahuatl sound is /t͡ɬ/, a voiceless alveolar lateral affricate, whereas the American English sound is /ɾɫ̩/, a voiced alveolar flap followed by lateral release. RP has /tɫ̩/.
