Date Created: Jun-2009.
Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Mayan languages are spoken today. Although several languages are extinct, there are many that are widely used. Overall, the family is estimated to be 42 centuries old (Asher, Moseley et al.).
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Altas of the World's Languages.

Date Created: Jun-2009.
Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Mayan subgroup languages were spoken when they were first encountered and knowledge of them was recorded. As specified by Asher and Moseley, the time of contact varied for each language; most of the coastal languages were first identified during the 16th and 17th centuries, although some languages in the interior of South America became known much more recently during the 20th century (Asher, Moseley et al.).
