Hey, all,
I don't know when the name got changed from Tetelcingo Nahuatl to Morelos Nahuatl, but it was a mistake.
ISO 639-3 has two different dialects/variants/languages here. Tetelcingo Nahuatl (code nhg) is(/was)spoken only in Tetelcingo and its two colonias. Morelos Nahuatl (nhm) is(/was) spoken in "Morelos state, municipality Temixco, Cuentepec; municipality Miacatlán, Coatetelco; municipality Tepoztlán, Santa Catarina; municipality Tetela del Volcán, Hueyapan, Alpanocan; municipality Puente de Ixtla, Xoxocotla. state of Puebla (on the border to Morelos): municipality Acteopan, San Marcos Acteopan, San Felipe Toctla." In fact most speakers are in Cuentepec, with a few left in Tetela, Hueyapan, etc. What is described in this article is Tetelcingo, not the more general Morelos dialect.
The two variants differ in important respects. Perhaps most immediately obvious is Tetelcingo's shifting of the vowel systems so that the "length" distinction is something like tenseness, and the contrasts are very obvious. The rest of Morelos keeps the traditional vowels with their highly elusive length distinction. The honorific systems, and a number of other subsystems of the languages, are also different in various aspects (though of course there are similarities as well: they both are, after all, Nahuatl).
I will try to change the name back to Tetelcingo Nahuatl, but if I can't, I ask that somebody who knows how please fix this.

Later: I made the changes. But now I need the Morelos Nahuatl page to be a regular article, not a redirect to Tetelcingo. I will see if I can do that, too.
