has gloss | eng: Tianguis (Tianquiztli) is a Mexican word derived from the Mexican indigenous language Nahuatl, or Aztec language, and is still frequently used today in Mexico to describe an open public market, i.e., a street market. Traditionally, the word has been used to describe markets where most of the vendors are indigenous Mexican farmers and craftsmen, however the use of the word has expanded to often include flea markets and other venues frequented by itinerant vendors. The word is most often used in areas that were traditional strongholds of the Aztec empire. |
