FORWARD
The following K'iche'-English dictionary was compiled by Allen J. Christenson while conducting field work inhighland Maya linguistics and ethnography from 1978-1985. All of the entries were elicited throughcollaboration with native K'iche' speakers in the communities of Momostenango (as well as its dependentaldeas of Canquixaja, Nimsitu, and Panca) and Totonicapan (and its dependent aldeas of Nimasak andCerro de Oro). The dictionary is unpublished and is offered to FAMSI as a tool for research.

GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION OF THE K’ICHE’-MAYA ALPHABET

In 1986 the Guatemalan Ministry of Public Education set up a commission to standardize alphabets for thetwenty-one recognized highland Maya languages. This standardization effort had become particularly
important due to the Guatemalan government’s proposed “Program of Bilingual Education” in Mayan
communities, designed to improve literacy and promote native American cultures and languages. This
program included the publication of bilingual dictionaries, school textbooks, and official translations of the
Guatemalan Constitution in the various highland Maya languages.

The results of this commission were officially endorsed by the Guatemalan government and signed into
law as Governmental Decree Number 1046-87 by President Marco Vinicio Cerezo Arévalo on November
23, 1987.

The following is a list of the modified Latin letters developed by Parra in the sixteenth century as used in
the Popol Vuh text, along with the modern orthographic equivalents and a guide to pronunciation:

Parra

Moderna, aaaAs in the a of “father.”aä

As in the o of “mother.”bb'Similar to the English b, but pronounced with the throat closed
while air is forcefully expelled to produce a glottal stop.

chch

As in the ch of “child.”qh, chch'Pronounced with the tongue in the same position as for the ch, but
the throat is closed and air forcefully expelled to produce aglottalized ch.

e, ee

e

As in the a of “late.”ParraModerni, ÿ, ii

i

As in the ee in “eel.”hjPronounced like the English h, but deeper in the throat. Similar to
the Spanish j or the German ch (as in the proper name “Bach”).

c, q

k

Similar to the k in “king.”

c, q

k'

Pronounced with the tongue in the same position as for the k, but
the throat is closed and air forcefully expelled to produce aglottalized k.

llPronounced like the English l, but with the tongue moved forward
to contact the upper incisor teeth. When appearing as the terminal
letter in a word, this sound is immediately followed by the h as in
the English word “hot.”mm

As in the m of “mat.”nn

As in the n of “net.”

o, oo

o

As in the o of “home.”ppPronounced like the English p but shortened in length.

c, q

q

Pronounced from further back in the throat than the letter k, similar
to the kh in the Egyptian word ankh.

ε, c, qq'

Pronounced with the tongue in the same position as for the q, but
the throat is closed and air forcefully expelled to produce aglottalized q.

rr

Similar to the Spanish r, pronounced with a brief tap of the tongue
against the roof of the mouth.

zs

As in the s of “sit.”tt

Similar to the English t but shortened in length.

d, t

t'

Pronounced with the tongue in the same position as for the t, but
the throat is closed and air forcefully expelled to produce aglottalized t.

tz

tz

As in the ts of “mats.”

tz, q,

tz'

Pronounced with the tongue in the same position as for the tz, but
the throat is closed and air forcefully expelled to produce a glottalized tz.

ParraModernu, v, uuu

As in the oo of “root.”

v, u

w

As in the w of “wind.”xx

Pronounced like the sh in “shy.”

y, i

y

As in the y of “yellow.” When appearing as the terminal letter in aword, it is pronounced like the ee in “eel,” immediately followedby an English h as in “hot.”'

Glottalization mark for vowels. For example a' would be similar tothe pronunciation of the ott in the Scottish pronunciation of“bottle.” Generally there is no equivalent for glottalized vowels in
the Popol Vuh, although occasionally a double vowel may havebeen intended to serve this purpose.
