Download or read book A Dictionary of Ch orti Mayan Spanish English written by Kerry M. Hull and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of extant languages, Ch'orti' Mayan is the closest to ancient the Maya hieroglyphic script, but it is a language that is decreasing in usage. In southern Guatemala where it is spoken, many children no longer learn it, as Spanish dominates most experiences. From linguistic and anthropological data gathered over many years, Kerry Hull has created the largest and most complete Ch'orti' Mayan dictionary to date. With nearly 9,000 entries, this trilingual dictionary of Ch'orti', Spanish, and English preserves ancient words and concepts that were vital to this culture in the past. Each entry contains examples of Ch'orti' sentences along with their translations. Each term is defined grammatically and linked to a grammatical index. Variations due to age and region are noted. Additionally, extensive cultural and linguistic annotations accompany many entries, providing detailed looks into Ch'orti' daily life, mythology, flora and fauna, healing, ritual, and food. Hull worked closely with native speakers, including traditional ritual specialists, and presents that work here in a way that is easily accessible to scholars and laypersons alike.

Book excerpt: Feldman spent two years transcribing the five separate vocabularies of a corpus called the Viana dictionary of the Poqom Maya from photocopies and copy flows. The core of the dictionary that translates the Maya into Spanish was written by Dominican friar Francisco Viana (1528-1608), who arrived in Guatemala in 1556. Feldman has re-alphabetized the text, removed duplications and fragments that are too incomplete to have any meaning, and added material from other sources when useful.
