Number of pages: 41K'eqchi Grammar – An Introduction is the first attempt to put together a simple yet concise and precise grammar for the K'eqchi Mayan Language of Guatemala. It formally introduces the structural rules of a language that had remained only spoken for hun-dreds of years. Therefore, the main emphasis of this guide is on writing correct K'eqchi phrases and sentences. It begins with a brief introduction to personal pronouns and an explanation of verb modifiers followed by sections presenting the different tenses that characterize this natural language. A large portion of the document encompasses the classification of parts of speech that are inherent to the K'eqchi language. Finally, the last portion focuses on the building of questions, spelling, and writing sentences.
