What is the difference between the Maya and Aztec

The Aztecs were Nahuatl-speaking people who lived in central Mexico in the 14th to 16th centuries. Their tribute empire spread throughout Mesoamerica. The Maya people lived in southern Mexico and northern Central America - a wide territory that includes the entire Yucatán Peninsula - from as early as 2600 BC. The civilization's height was between 250 and 900 AD.
