The Yucatecan languages are a branch of the Mayan family of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala.
Languages
The Mayan languages in the Yucatecan branch are:[clarification needed — Are these glossonyms exonyms or endonyms?]
- Mopan–Itza: Itzaʼ (1,090 speakers), Mopan (9,000-12,000 speakers)
- Yucatec–Lacandon: Maya (Yukatek) (792,113 speakers), Lakantun (Lacandon) (600 speakers)
