My goal was to distill the verbal morphology of Proto-Yukatekan as laid out by Hofling for easy study and reference. I'm making it available here in the hope that it will be a useful aid for students of Yukatek and Mayan linguistics.

The first article is “Aspects of the lexicon of proto-Mayan and its earliest descendants” by Terrence Kaufman (pp. 62-111). The second article is “Mayan history and comparison” by Lyle Campbell (pp. 43-61).
My goal was to distill both authors' (sometimes conflicting) views on the origins and development of the Mayan languages for easy study and reference. I'm making it available here in the hope that it will be a useful aid for students of Mayan languages and linguistics.

My goal was to distill the grammar of Tseltal and Tsotsil laid out by the author for easy study and reference. I'm making it available here in the hope that it will be a useful aid for students of both languages and Mayan linguistics.
