Mayan

Hippocrene Books. 180 pages. Size 3?"x7". 1,500 entries. Eight million people in Mexico and Central America speak the Mayan language. I find that unbelievable! But it's true. And now finally, we have a dictionary and phrasebook to help in communicating with the wonderful Mayan peoples. With a selection of common words and phrases in Yucatec Maya (the most widely spoken branch of Maya), this dictionary and 20 phrasebook chapters include phonetic pronunciation and translations for each word or phrase in English and Spanish, the language of most non-Maya communication in Mexico and Central America. An introduction to grammar, a pronunciation guide, and practical cultural information make this the ideal language guide for the traveller.
