Tualar and Chularcitos
 
Tualar and Chularcitos are in California. They were named by the Spanish conquistadores, but what do these two words mean?

I got the names wrong. It is Chualar, which got its name because it was pretty:thinking::confused:and Tularcitos because of the reeds in the swamp...:confused::thinking:

According to some sources, Chualar, Monterey County, California, got its name from the indigenous word that means 'place where chual (California goosefoot/soap plant) grows'. Another source quotes pigweed as the name of the plant.
The Spanish adapted the native name.

Tularcitos, the Spanish word for little tules (large bulrushes found in marshes), came from the Nahuatl word tōlin.

Do you any of you know any words in Oaxacan dialect? I need to learn some of it. I'm wondering if there is a website with this information that you guys have come across, maybe?

Appreciate your help!
