Abstract
This paper reports on the family language policy (FLP) of three families in a Nahuatl community in Mexico. It investigates the role of (i) parental experiences, beliefs, attitudes and expectations, (ii) child practices, and (iii) broader societal attitudes in shaping these policies. Drawing on survey and interview data, the study points to a tension between generally positive attitudes towards Nahuatl and reported language practices in the home. The three cases offer different perspectives on the complex interplay between language practices in the home and broader social, cultural and political processes. Shedding light on ongoing processes of language shift in this Nahuatl-speaking region, this study contributes data-based knowledge to the FLP literature in Indigenous communities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
