The Mayan languages are a language family primarily spoken in Guatemala, Belize, and eastern Mexico. Languages such as Classic Maya, Itza', and Yucatec have served as the lingua franca of the Maya civilization of old.
Though largely displaced by Spanish since colonization, the Mayan languages retain some 6 million speakers to this day, with the K'iche' language having over 2 million.
This video presents the history of the Mayan languages from 2200 BCE to the present.
Disclaimer: all dates are approximations, and there are many competing hypotheses regarding the development of these languages that are not represented in this video.

Make about Tibeto-Burman languages
@@alexangelo1998 Sino-Tibetan is 5200 BC in North China/Mongolia - refer www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1153-z
This may contradict previous theorys of a Indian source. Then Han - to Yellow river, then spread slowly south splitting up into many languages.
Majiayao culture - Tibetan - by 3900 BC to Tibet Yarlung valley, by 7th cent AD then spread over Tibet. Burmese - into South Yunnan mountains then 9th cent AD down Irrawaddy River.
What software do you use to make these?
@@wangbural Photoshop Elements and Premiere Pro!
I hope many more Native American language families are next, including Uto-aztecan and Muskogean
Did you know according to some scholars the Uto-aztecan were one of the last groups over the land bridge to Alaska? Then supposedly they traveled down British Columbia and inland along the Sierra Nevada - where they broke up - the North Paiute(including Bannock) in Idaho/Nevada, the Shoshone(including Commanche) around Wyoming, the Ute in Utah and west Colorado, the southern Paiute around Arizona, I forget which tribe headed for Los Angeles - maybe the Chumash? Anyway the Yaqui and the Nahuatl(aka Aztecs) continued into north Mexico where the Yaqui split off, and the Nahuatl go to central Mexico to form the Aztec empire. Then when the Spanish brought horses, the Bannock and Commanche split off, the Commanche going off to Colorado, then Oklahoma and Texas.
@@tommy-er6hh That’s interesting but why do they think they’re the last to crossover? From what I know it seems like the Inuit are the last crossover
@@celtofcanaanesurix2245 The key word is LAND, the inuit crossed over, but in boats like several other tribes, after the glacial land bridge had been flooded by the end of ice age. Sorry i did not make that clear.
Oh, I looked it up, the Serrano and Luiseno headed for Los Angeles. And I forgot a bunch of other tribes: Papago and Pima around Arizona/Mexican border; the Mayo, Tarahumara, Tepehuan also settled in N Mexico with the Yaqui; and the Wixaritari(aka Huichol) also settled in central Mexico with the Nahuatl, but did not building an empire. And I am sure there are more tribes I have not mentioned.
@@tommy-er6hh this old man would like to begin to learn more about the Huichol people. My mother told me about them and also about the Chichimeca people. She was born about 1924, not far from el Lago (Lake) Chapala, which maybe you know is near Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

My family, myself included are from Belize. My mother came from Corozal district which is in the north on the border with Mexico. I never realized just how much Yucatec Maya was in the Spanish that my mom spoke, until very recently. I always knew these words sounded different, unique but never really gave it much thought as a kid. It’s only when I came across a Yucatec Mayan page on FB regarding commonly used words that it hit me. My mom would use words such as ‘Mulix’- curly hair, ‘Tuuch’- belly button, ‘Chiichi’- grandmother, ‘Boox Buul- black beans.
That's very interesting! You mom is conected to the ancient people by the language.
I'm from Guatemala and my family's original language is K'iche' another Mayan one, and Spanish from Guatemala is full of linguistics loans from Mayan languages, we use words such as: canche (blonde), ishto (kid), and so forth. I'm a K'iche' person from Guatemala
Central Mexican Spanish is full of Náhuatl loanwords, and the second-to-last word means something quite different in náhuatl ._.
ah yes, the word for chest in nahuatl, or should I say, mexicano@@TiagoH1710
The situation is actually way better than could be expected
Yup, there are 6 million speakers of these languages today. That's a lot and not many Mexicans and I don't know Guatemalans know it
It's interesting to see that the main lingua franca was classic Maya but later it was replaced by Yucatec Maya. It seems there was power struggle between the two groups.
Isnt yucatec maya an evolution of classic maya? I heard that yucatec maya is referred to as plain maya
@@citrusblast4372
i don't know anything about Mayan languages.
They migrated north during overpopulation and migrated back south again during droughts. Commerce and immigration (northern mexico/gulf to caribbean down to Pacific coast) happened parallel to decreasing influence of Teotihuacan, Olmec and later Aztec expansion
@@citrusblast4372 No. The closest language to classical Maya is Chorti, spoken in Guatemala and Copan, Honduras.
it wasn't. I don't where they got that from. Yucatec was never the lingua france. Classic Maya probably make much entrance into the highlands either. This was actually pretty off.
When it reached the 15th century I KNEW, I just knew what was gonna happen 😢 and it’s so clear in modern day. It’s very sad just how small & decimated it is today
1:30 ima head out
They just found the earliest so far royal burial site in a post teotihuacan, late olmec, Proto Mayan settlement in Takalik Abaj, Guatemala.
YAAAAASSSS thanks for doing my country! We need more México videos!
Spanish + Mayan history
Guatemala too
Not just Mexico 🤦🏽♂️
girl what are you on? this isn’t country related at all, maya homelands are occupied by five different modern day settler states including what is now known as mexico. but we pre date colonial borders and nationalism
Nice pfp!
If they are countries or something like that and have a language, then I wish they're countries.
Guatemala it's rich thanks to the Mayan ancestors 🇬🇹
Can you do one for the language family in which Tupi and Guarani are there
You can find video about Tupí-Guaraní languages on my channel.
Wow good effort but so much wrong with this.....Kichean langauges did not reach the lowlands until fairly recently. Mayan langauges didnt reached the coast until fairly late in the post classic era. Yucatec was never the lingua franca in the highlands. the cholan language group covered the central lowlands up to the spanish colonization.
nice job, Kudos!
Hey! So, correct me if I'm wrong: around 850 BC, after centuries of prosperity and hegemony, the Mayan ppl began to abandon their cities, one after the other. In less than 200 years, their civilization had become a fraction of their glorious past. There would be some isolated resurgences as in Northern Yucatan, but the Mayan grandeur was lost forever. So, their language would have declined as well, right?
Great question! The Classic Maya collapse is actually one of the most misunderstood events in world history. Yes, many of the centers of Classic Maya civilization, such as Palenque and Tikal, were indeed abandoned. However, the collapse represented more of a shift of power from the lowlands to the highlands than a true "collapse" of civilization. Chichen Itza, perhaps the most well-known Maya city, actually flourished _after_ the so-called "collapse," and the Maya kingdoms remained powerful enough to resist Spanish invasions all the way up to 1697, more than a century after most other Indigenous civilizations had succumbed.
(P.S. I'm sure it was a typo, but the Classic Maya collapse actually occurred in the 9th century AD, not BC.)
@@TheDragonHistorian Ooh okok. I didn't thought about that. And sorry haha, i said BC because i'm brazilian and we only use the christian system.
I still speak my MAYAN

Hhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa
what about history of maritime southeast asian nations or austronesian languages?
I'm working on the History of the Philippines now but it's taking a while to do all the research, so it'll probably be out at the end of this year or the beginning of the next. As for the Austronesian languages, it's not as high a priority for me at the moment because Costas Melas just did a video on the subject.
@@TheDragonHistorian Wow! not many mapping channels make one about the philippines for some reason, so kudos to you for working on that. I'm from the Philippines actually and I know our history, specifically the precolonial period is hard to pin together, because the info is kinda distributed across different wikipedia pages and much of it got destroyed and erased by Spanish friars before so most precolonial history is only being dug up from the last century or recent decades. I mean like if you didn't know already, word of warning, they're not all only written on the usual pages about each precolonial polity state. There are even more simply written on the history section of specific wiki pages of places. There's a few channels who already touched upon the mapping history of the Philippines, tho it's spread out and not as consolidated, specifically you can get from EmperorTigerstar's video on: The History of Southeast Asia: Every Year(th-cam.com/video/Plm3gs4dujg/w-d-xo.html ), and also his WW2 Pacific front video: World War II in the Pacific: Every Day(th-cam.com/video/6_1rzp2YVxQ/w-d-xo.html ), then there's Lazardi Wong Jogja's videos on his channel, like his: The History of Nusantara - Every 50 Years (100 -2000 CE) (th-cam.com/video/bAIlKNk_qHI/w-d-xo.html ), The History of the Majapahit Empire (1293-1527) (th-cam.com/video/GMM1RJ2edGc/w-d-xo.html ), The History of the Srivijaya Empire (650-1088) (th-cam.com/video/gHpvL24nqik/w-d-xo.html ), The History of the Ternate Sultanate (th-cam.com/video/NmXkfbH3w48/w-d-xo.html ), The History of Brunei Darussalam (th-cam.com/video/1Y_JvPoK_Ic/w-d-xo.html ), though word of warning, Lazardi is from Indonesia so he put in his videos that some states in indonesia supposedly ruled over places in the philippines, even though they were just mere influence, so take his videos with a grain of salt but they will point u to explore more into where hes getting his info. Also, Jake Mapping made a video too before for: The History of the Philippines - Every Year (th-cam.com/video/s_h57sFJ9_8/w-d-xo.html ). Then, there's also these videos by The Glorious Mark: Philippine History Part I: Under the Spanish Empire (1565-1898) (th-cam.com/video/vlI22y0Hm8Y/w-d-xo.html ), Philippine History Part II: The Philippine Revolution (EVERYDAY from 1896-1899) (th-cam.com/video/7OzW4Oy9b1A/w-d-xo.html ), Philippine History Part III: Philippine-American War (EVERYDAY from 1899-1901) (th-cam.com/video/BY2cWa_weA0/w-d-xo.html ), then, there's some WW2 ones by Philippine Mapping: Japanese Occupation of The Philippines:Everyday (th-cam.com/video/bEFkFdsRJOk/w-d-xo.html ), and Mapping PH: Liberation of the Philippines WW2 (1944-1945): Everyday (th-cam.com/video/ZeyHx1VAbf0/w-d-xo.html ) Also, there's a list page in wikipedia that lists all the sovereign state leaders: List of sovereign state leaders in the Philippines (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_state_leaders_in_the_Philippines ) and the list of Governor-General of the Philippines (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor-General_of_the_Philippines ). Some of them had flags: List of flags of the Philippines (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flags_of_the_Philippines )
Oh yeah, for music, you can use for precolonial music, either of these: Singkil Music (th-cam.com/video/VyKOZUBLp-M/w-d-xo.html ), Philippine Traditional Instrument-Kulintang (th-cam.com/video/B_acS1s_cZM/w-d-xo.html ), Tboli Music Instruments | Kulingtan | Kubing (Jaw Harp) | S'loli (Bamboo Flute) | Tnonggong (th-cam.com/video/DMPgh2Fac_U/w-d-xo.html ), then for Spanish Colonial Times, you can use: PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCE Instrumental [Bandurria] : Filipino Music (th-cam.com/video/NX_xrw6ZoKU/w-d-xo.html ), then for American period, you can try to find some old American style music that fits kind of like in this video: Manila, Queen of the Pacific 1938 (th-cam.com/video/dvpbsyNcI3I/w-d-xo.html ), for Japanese period, there's this: Song of Philippine Independence (菲律賓独立の歌) (th-cam.com/video/hlql8CBk1J4/w-d-xo.html ), then for Marcos regime, there's this: (REMAKE) Martsa ng Bagong Lipunan | Philippine Patriotic Song [1973-1986] (th-cam.com/video/TNpCeT1ghS8/w-d-xo.html )

The initial history slide is incorrect.
The Olmec were colonized and displaced by the Maya.
The Maya were displaced and colonized by the Toltec
The Toltec were colonized and displaced by the Aztec.
The Aztec were colonized and displaced by the Spanish.
And now, the descendants of all of them live together in the same region.
Literally none of this is correct.
The Olmec core and Maya speaking areas don't overlap, and both Pre-classical civilizations coexisted for a bit.
The Toltec lived west of the isthmus, the Maya east of the isthmus.
Toltec cities were abandoned before the Aztec empire was formed.
The Olmec and Maya were PARALEL, but while the Maya already had an archaic WRITTEN LANGUAGE and the beginnings of ORGANIZED STATES AND KINGDOMS, the Olmeca were still very primitive and didn't fully developed, the reason why earlier anthropologists and archeologists mistakenly believed the Olmecs "pre dated" the Mayans, they were paralel (there has been people in Guatemala for more than 20,000 years but organized civilization about 5 thousand years, earlier than Teotihuacan (Toltec) and San Lorenzo, La Venta (Zoque and Olmeca) They did have mercantil exchanges, embassies and immigrant barrios and intermarriage, architecture and religion mutual influence and even sports and foods such as rubber balls, stadiums, chocolate and tortillas (tacos) The easiest Tamale representation is in a mural in San Bartolo, Peten, Guatemala. 🫔
