Jacaltec is also the name of their Mayan language which is spoken by approximately 40,000 people, mainly in the Huehuetenango Department of Guatemala. Jacaltec has a Verb Subject Object syntax. Like many Native American languages, Jacaltec has a a lot of complex agglutinative morphology and uses ergative case. It is divided in two dialects, eastern and western Jacaltec, which are mutually intelligible in speech but not in writing.
