Tzotzil is a Mayan language spoken primarily in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. It is part of the Mayan language family and is used by the Tzotzil people, who have a rich cultural heritage. The language has several dialects, reflecting the diverse communities that speak it.
Tzotzil is recognized for its complex grammar and unique phonetic features. Efforts are being made to preserve the language, as it faces challenges from globalization and the dominance of Spanish. Educational programs and community initiatives aim to promote Tzotzil among younger generations.
