Tzotzil language

Tzotzil is a Mayan language spoken by the Tzotzil people primarily in Chiapas, Mexico. It has a complex structure with unique grammar and vocabulary rooted in Mayan traditions. The language features verb-focused syntax and uses specific affixes to indicate tense and aspect. Tzotzil is traditionally transmitted orally, but efforts have been made to preserve and teach it through written materials and bilingual education. It plays a vital role in maintaining cultural identity and heritage for the Tzotzil community, coexisting alongside Spanish in everyday life and local ceremonies.
