This norm has often been misinterpreted to mean that the people are also called Yucatec Maya, but that term only refers to the language and the correct name for the people is simply Maya (not Mayans).
В отличие от горных племен в Гватемале, майя Юкатана говорят на едином майянском языке (Yucatec Mayan) и идентифицируют себя просто как "майя", без племенного уточнения.
