== Toponymy == Tilantongo seems to be the Nahuatl translation of the original Mixtec name. Tillantonco meaning 'at the small black place' (tlilli 'black)', -ton diminutive, -co locative). In Mixtec, this site was known as Ñuu Tnoo-Huahi Andehui meaning 'Black Town-Temple of Heaven.' Although, modern day speakers of the local variant simply call the town ÑūTnúu, The Black Town (Also referenced to as the Charred Town, Burnt Town, and other names).
