		The Huastec language is considered to be in the Maya language family, although it is distant both linguistically and geographically from the rest of the language family.

	Mayan Language Family
		Languages of the World is brought to you by the National Virtual Translation Center.
		Maya languages are ergative, i.e, the subject of a transitive verb has one form (called the ergative case), while the subject of an intransitive verb has a different form -- the same form as the object of a transitive verb (the absolutive case).
		Today, all Mayan languages are written with adapted versions of the Roman alphabet that still reflect the spelling patterns of Spanish, although there are efforts to revise the orthographies so that they more closely represent the sounds of the Mayan languages.

		Language has always helped to signify who we are in society, sometimes serving as a basis for exclusion.
		Language gatekeepers have singled out some aspects of the many patterns of variation as grounds for action.
		Anyhow, classical logic was modeled after the Greek language, not the other way around, and there are other types of logic, including many in which true or false is not the whole story, so that’s no help.

		Similarly, a proto-Altaic language spoken by the members of an Altaic community who became separated from each other, in time by thousands of years and in space by thousands of kilometres, would definitely develop independently of each other in a way that when examined at present, they would appear alien to each other.
		In spite of the evolutionary forces that act upon a language and cause changes in its structure and in the pronunciation of its words, one can still recognise these two words in languages which are related to each other.
		However as the language develops in time, the vowels in a word may change into other vowels such as "a" into "e", "o", "u" while consonants of the words, in general, would tend to maintain their identity in the word through time.

	Esotericism of the Popol Vuh by Raphael Girard, ch 4
		Of this we have a record in the present Maya population itself, particularly that which still lives in the area where the native American culture was gestating, and which, according to anthropometric statistics, demonstrates beyond dispute the coexistence of two different physical types.
		Elsewhere we have drawn attention to the fact that in languages emanated from the same linguistic subsoil the word for bean (frijol) either passed from a particular to a general meaning or suffered a displacement in meaning by becoming the word for another plant or food (Girard, Los Chortís, chapter 4).
		This picturesque description vividly portrays the condition of things in that age, in which the population of the earth increased as a result of the stable and growing sources of subsistence, human language was evolved, and certain aspects of human culture were developed.

	Copan: Collaboration for Identity, Equity and Sustainability (Honduras)
		The Chortis used the land in the aparcería system (whereby farmers rent land from landowners in return for payment of a proportion of the harvest obtained), since their own land was not sufficient for their needs.
		However they strongly question the position of the Chortis (and even the use of the term Chorti), arguing that they are neither truly indigenous descendants of the Mayans, nor even Honduran.
		This has led to accusations, both from the landowners and from the Government, that the case of the Chortis is being manipulated by external actors in pursuit of their own agendas; however the risk of the creation of this impression is balanced by the advantages of their positive achievements.

	Language Log: Making Yucatec Maya "cool again"
		Mayan languages this might refer to, but now the situation has been clarified — sort of — by Gibson himself.
		But that doesn't stop journalists from calling it an "obscure Mayan dialect" (as in a photo caption for the AP article as well as a July Variety article), though it is neither particularly obscure nor a dialect.
		This could mean, however, that the translators hired by Gibson have attempted to render the dialogue in a reconstruction of Classic Maya as spoken six centuries ago, with Yucatec Maya as the nearest modern approximation.

	Mayan Geometry
		This article is a study of the geometry that is found in the various aspects of the daily activities of the Maya, such as design of cities, and the shape of buildings, ceramics and weavings.
		It is apparently more metric and topological than that found in the K'ekchÍ language, which seems to be motivated more by shapes.
		It can be concluded from the above examples, that given the great quantity of geometric terms that exist in these Mayan languages (here taken at random), it can be observed that these elements were used and continue to be used by the Maya people.

		Scholars have found evidence of Maya civilization dating to approximately 1000 BCE and believe that early Maya complexes had been constructed circa 600 BCE, although the years 250 - 900 AD constitute the era considered by modern scholars to be the Classic period of the Maya civilization.
		Remaining evidence indicates that this civilization was highly skilled in astronomy, written language, city building, mythology, philosophy, cosmology, and mathematics (including the development of the concept of zero), at least rivaling the other great civilizations of the world.
		The Chortí language is also the Mayan language believed by scholars to be the closest to the ancient Maya glyphic writing found on the inscriptions from the Classic era at sites in the central lowlands.
