Reply to comment by st3ll4r-wind in 2,000-year-old Mayan civilization discovered in the north of Guatemala by HRJafael

I knew a few people in high school who still identify as Mayan. They were originally from Mexico, but they were from a region where it was pretty common.

everyone i know who identifies as mayan speaks mam. (from the quetzaltenango and huehuetenango departments) i think it's so cool, especially when teaching siblings or cousins, they'll just switch over to their language/dialect in arguments and private conversations and nobody can understand them. were your classmates from chiapas? did any of them speak a dialect as well?
