About Ixil-Maya

Ixil-Maya is one of the 21 different Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. There are three main varieties of Ixil: Nebaj, Chajul, and San Juan Cotzal. Some linguists consider them to be three distinct languages, while others consider them dialects of a single Ixil language. Approximately 70,000-80,000 people speak the three varieties of Ixil.
