what languages do Guatamaluans speak?

Answer 1

Country official language is spanish. However other languages (between 18 and 22) are spoken by the native mostly mayan indians. Some of those languages are:

- quiche (spoken by around 29% of the mayan population)
- kakchikel ( spoken by around 25 % of the mayan population)
- kekchí (spoken by around 14% of the mayan population)
- mam ( spoken by around 4% of the mayan population)

Other mayan languages are:
- pocomchi
- pocomam
- tzutuhil
- chorti
- canjobal
- aguacateco
- achi
- chuj
- ixil
- jakalteko
- poqomam
- 'eqchí
- uspanteko

Other languages (not mayan) are:
- Xinca (probably comes from the incan laguages)
- and Garífuna (comes from two languages: arawak und hallína).

As I told before, Spanish is the official language, however, it is estimated that a fifth of the total population do not speak this language but any of the mayan languages mentioned above

Answer 2

Although Spanish is the official language, it is not universally spoken among the indigenous population, nor is it often spoken as a second language. Twenty-one distinct Mayan languages are spoken, especially in rural areas, as well as several non-Mayan Amerindian languages, such as the indigenous Xinca, and Garifuna, an Arawakan language spoken on the Caribbean coast.
