| Summary |
"The Itzaj Maya language is a member of the Yukatekan Maya language family spoken in the lowlands of Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize, a family that includes Maya, Mopan, and Lakantun. Many Classic Maya hieroglyphic texts were written in an earlier form of these languages, as were a number of important colonial documents. In addition to being a valuable record of an ancient language, Itzaj Maya Grammar contributes greatly to the study of these older documents."--BOOK JACKET.
