Language and Dialect in the Maya Hieroglyphic Script
Special issue of Written Language & Literacy 3:1 (2000)
The geographic and temporal range of the Maya Hieroglyphic script, found in over 2,000 texts spanning 1,300 years, suggests that the texts may record more that one language or dialect. This collection results from a symposium at the 1998 Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, dealing with the linguistic features of these texts.
