Definition

  • The Chorti language (sometimes also Chorti) is a Mayan language, spoken by the indigenous Maya people who are also known as the Chorti or Chorti Maya. Chorti is a direct descendant of the Classic Maya language in which many of the pre-Columbian inscriptions using the Maya script were written. This Classic Maya language is also attested in a number of inscriptions made in regions whose inhabitants most likely spoke a different Mayan language variant, including the ancestor of Yukatek Maya.
