Bernard Diaz del Castillo (1495-1584) wrote in his True History of the Conquest of Mexico that the people of Tabasco gave Cortes a woman attendant called Dona Marina. She was fluent in three local languages, and was able to play a crucial role as interpreter for Cortes. "This was the great beginning of our conquests, and without Dona Marina we could not have understood the language of New Spain and Mexico.
Diaz thought she was a princess, but the Mexicans called her 'Malinche', a-word meaning 'betrayal'. Malinchista means somesone who slavishly copies the costumes and languages of another people.
