This is a clip showing how the letters in the Maya Achi alphabet are
pronounced. When Guillermo Chen was touring the UK and other European
countries there was a great deal of interest in learning more about the
Maya Achi language.
You can find out more and
download a fairly extensive Spanish-Achi dictionary from the website of
bilingual
education in Guatemala.

I really enjoyed this clip. My stepfather is from Huehuetenango and he speaks and understands mayan. He has never taught me any of it but I am very curious to learn! Thanks!

Thanks for the comment- we're looking into to getting hold of more audio of different Mayan languages. It would be great to be able to raise awareness of these languages.
