Answer:

Aztec or Nahuatl writing is a pre-Columbian writing system that combines ideographic writing with Nahuatl specific phonetic logograms and syllabic signs which was used in central Mexico by the Nahua people. The majority of Aztec codices were burned by the Spanish clergy following the conquest of Mesoamerica.
