Lux speaks his native language of K'iche', which is spoken by more people in Guatemala than any other Mayan language there. Check out the cc/subtitles for translations!

As an Asian, I always saw that each country in asia or Europe has its own language which is indigenous to its own country. Still those countries (including mine) are so developed economically. I wonder how can demolishing indigenous language and culture(which has been the most advanced for centuries) be beneficial for any nation? In my country we have twenty two official languages. Though most schools and colleges teach in English, it is also compulsory for us to learn to read and write our local language also(the local language differs in different parts of our country). Each of our local languages has a rich literature and has ancient roots. Strong roots make a strong tree. As a kid I wondered how so many countries of latin America spoke the same language?Later I got to know about their history. I respect Spanish language, but I feel sad that the world could not get enough knowledge about those indigenous cultures and the true potential of their civilization.Lots of love to you and to all the different cultures of the world. Lots of love to Guatemala.I would love to learn a maya language someday.
I learned Kekchi when I was living in a community in Rio Dulce, Izabal. It was almost 38 years ago and sadly I almost forgot because of lack of practice. But the native Guatemalan languages are very nice and useful to learn. So, good for you!!!
I find indigenous languages South of the border interesting. I'm Navajo, the way they introduced themselves sounds similar to our introduction with a different wording. Some of the pronunciations are similar to Navajo/Athabaskin pronunciations. Truly interesting.
Quiche sounds distinct from Spanish but it also resembles the Spanish spoken in Central America, too. This is actually a positive thing because it demonstrates that indigenous languages greatly influenced the Spanish spoken now.
@@romanorr12Is the way the indigenous languages affected spanish spoken in guatemala(or central america for that matter) mostly about accents and some vocabularies or is it more than that? Such as in terms of morphology or syntax or common expressions/proverb etc ?
I'm learning to de colonize myself and go to my roots. I'm from Livingston Isabel Guatemala 🇬🇹 the workers at my grandma's hotel spoke kiche and even was teaching me a little and exchange I taught them English.

The University of Texas has an online course in K'iche. Although, it would be best to use a native speaker. But, it's still a good stepping stone. The website is: tzij.coerll.utexas.edu
