Tarascan or Tarasca is an exonym and the popular name for the Purépecha culture. It may refer to: * the Tarascan state, a precolonial empire * the Purépecha people * the Purépecha language It carries pejorative connotations when referring to the people or their language.〔http://www.houstonculture.org/mexico/michoacan.html〕 ==Etymology== The name "Tarascan" (and its Spanish-language equivalent, "tarasco") comes from the word "tarascue" in the Purépecha language, which means indistinctly "father-in-law" or "son-in-law". The Spanish took it as their name, for reasons that have been attributed to different, mostly legendary, stories. The Nahuatl name for the Purépecha was "Michhuàquê" ("those who have fish"), whence the name of the state of Michoacán. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tarascan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
