	HLW: Introduction: Why study language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Language is a part of everyone's life, but it is more central to some people than to others.
		Again linguistics and other language sciences can help; some language scientists devote their efforts to figuring out what makes different expressions appropriate in different situations, while others are concerned with how words and expressions are interpreted by hearers and readers.
		Here the relevance of the scientific study of language is obvious; you first need to know what the norms of a language are before you can hope to address the ways in which your clients or patients deviate from these norms.

	Mayan Language Family
		These languages are thought to have originated from a common ancestral language spoken at least 5,000 years ago by inhabitants of the Mayan empire whose remains can be found throughout much of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador and southern Mexico.
		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.

	Reports Submitted to FAMSI - Luisa Maffi
		Tzeltal is the main Mayan language of Chiapas, México, closely related to the Cholan languages of the Classic Maya Lowlands, and quite possibly the language whose ancestor is recorded in the inscriptions of the Classic Maya site of Toniná, in Chiapas.
		It consisted in assembling, systematically organizing, and computerizing the existing lexical materials on the Tenejapa dialect of Tzeltal Maya (the Tzeltal dialect with the most extensive documentation), as well as other linguistic and cultural information contained in ethnographies of Tenejapa Tzeltal communities, as the basis on which to build for the later extensive lexicographic research.
		The data in the main index, including Tzeltal plant names and their botanical identifications, were scanned and converted to database format, yielding over 2,400 items.

		Over generations, they have chronicled such conditions in a litany of expressions in their native Tzeltal language; each description distinguishes among the observed nuances exhibited by various strains of an ailment.

	Language Log: No Word for Thank You
		A recurring theme here on Language Log is the claim that such-and-such a language has no word for this-or-that.
		This is easily seen in the history of languages like Japanese which have vast numbers of doublets, one native, the other borrowed, for the same meaning.
		This fact has suggested to the ignorant that these languages previously had no word for "thank you", from which they draw the further conclusion that their speakers had no concept of gratitude.

		In Classical times (600-800 AD) and as late as the Spanish Conquest, the language was written on buildings, pottery and bark-paper codices in a highly elaborate script now called Maya hieroglyphics.
		It is documented in the ancient hieroglyphs in Pre-Columbian Maya civilization sites such as Chichen Itza, has a rich literature through the Spanish Colonial era, and remains common as the first language in rural areas in Yucatan today, where in many towns even Yucatecans of Spanish ancestry have a working knowledge of the tongue.
		An Olmec origin for many PreClassic Maya sites, would explain Schele and Freidel's (1990) claim that the first king of Palenque was the Olmec leader U-Kix-chan; and that the ancient Maya adopted many Olmec social institutions and Olmec symbolic imagery.
