The Pipil people are several culturally related Mesoamerican ethnic groups of the western and central areas of present-day El Salvador. They migrated from Mexico to El Salvador around the 8th century A.D. They speak the Nawat language, but only a few speakers still exist.

Their cosmology was related to that of the Toltec, Maya, and Lenca people.[2]
