Chuj is one of the Mayan languages spoken by the Chuj people, being around 40,000 people in Guatemala and 10,000 in Mexico.
Chuj together with the languages of Tojolab'al, Mocho', Akateko, Q'anjob'al and Popti' form the western branch of the Mayan
family of languages. Chuj created its own branch about 21 centuries ago. In Guatemala, Chuj speakers are located in three
municipalities in the department of Huehuetenango. They are San Mateo Ixtatán, San Sebastián Coatán and Nentón. There is a
high level of language conservation in these areas. Some communities of Barillas and Ixcán also speak Chuj in Guatemala. The
Chuj Mayan language has been influenced by Spanish and speakers of this language have a tendency to mix Chuj with Spanish
words. It is estimated that 70% of the Chuj language is purely Chuj. |
