Very nice of these people to keep their idiosyncrasy and language.

not only is a live language, but there are several Mayan dialects, I have a book in Txotxil I bought in Chiapas and in many cities in the south of Mexico you can see bilingual schools that teach one or more Mayan dialects and Spanish. In Lacandona Jungle I've met people that doesn't speak Spanish or speak it very badly
