Definition
- The K’iche’ language (Quiché in Spanish, Qatzijobal "our language" to its speakers) is a part of the Mayan language family. It is spoken by many Kiche people in the central highlands of Guatemala. With close to a million speakers (some 7% of Guatemalas population), it is the second-most widely spoken language in the country after Spanish. Most speakers of Kiche also have at least a working knowledge of Spanish except in some isolated rural villages. One of the notable speakers of the Quiché language is Rigoberta Menchú.
