La Malinche, also known as Malintzin or Doña Marina, played a crucial role in Cortés' expedition as she served as an interpreter and advisor. She was a Nahua woman who had been enslaved and then given to Cortés as a translator. Due to her fluency in both the Nahuatl language and Mayan dialects, she was able to help Cortés communicate with indigenous groups throughout Mexico. La Malinche played a significant role in bridging the communication gap between the Spanish conquistadors and the native peoples, ultimately contributing to Cortés' successful conquest of the Aztec empire.
