Jacalteco is a Mayan
language spoken by about 70,000 people in Guatemala and Mexico. There are two main varieties of Jacalteco:
Western Jacalteco and Eastern Jacalteco. Although there are some significant differences between Eastern and Western Jacalteco,
different Jacalteco speakers can usually understand each other well, so most linguists consider them dialects of the same
language rather than two distinct languages. Jacalteco uses VSO word order.
