「マヤ語は、メソアメリカと中央アメリカ北部で話さ れている言語ファミリーを形成している。マヤ語はグアテマラ、メキシコ、ベリーズ、エルサルバドル、ホンジュラスを中心に少なくとも600万人のマヤ人に よって話されている。1996年、グアテマラは21のマヤ語を正式に認め、メキシコは領土内で8つのマヤ語を認めている。マヤ語族は、アメリカ大陸で最も 文書化され、最も研究されている言語のひとつである。現代のマヤ語は、少なくとも5,000年前に話されていたと考えられているプロトマヤ語の子孫であ り、それは比較法を使用して部分的に再構築されている。原マヤ語は、ワステカン語、キチェ語、ユカテカン語、カンジョバル語、マメ語、チオラン・ツェルタ ラン語の少なくとも6つの枝に分化した。マヤ語はメソアメリカ言語圏の一部であり、数千年にわたるメソアメリカの民族間の相互作用を通じて発展した言語収 束の地域である。すべてのマヤ語は、この言語圏の基本的な特徴を示している。たとえば、空間的な関係を示すために、前置詞の代わりに関係詞を用います。ま た、動詞とその主語・目的語の文法的な扱いにおけるエルガティビティ(能格機能)の使用、動詞の特殊な屈折カテゴリー、すべてのマヤ語に典型的な「位置詞」という特殊 な単語クラスなど、メソアメリカの他の言語とは異なる文法的・類型的な特徴を持っている。メソアメリカの歴史におけるコロンブス以前の時代、いくつかの マヤ語はロゴ音節のマヤ文字で書かれていた。その使用は、マヤ文明の古典期(250-900年頃)に特に広まりった。建造物、遺跡、陶器、樹皮紙の写本に 刻まれた5,000を超えるマヤ語の碑文が現存しており、征服後にラテン文字で書かれたマヤ語の文献が豊富に残っていることから、アメリカ大陸では他に類 を見ない、コロンブス以前の歴史を現代的に理解するための基礎資料となっている。」

"The Mayan languages[notes 1] form a language family spoken in Mesoamerica and northern Central America. Mayan languages are spoken by at least 6 million Maya people, primarily in Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras. In 1996, Guatemala formally recognized 21 Mayan languages by name,[1][notes 2] and Mexico recognizes eight within its territory. The Mayan language family is one of the best-documented and most studied in the Americas.[2] Modern Mayan languages descend from the Proto-Mayan language, thought to have been spoken at least 5,000 years ago; it has been partially reconstructed using the comparative method. The proto-Mayan language diversified into at least six different branches: the Huastecan, Quichean, Yucatecan, Qanjobalan, Mamean and Chʼolan–Tzeltalan branches. Mayan languages form part of the Mesoamerican language area, an area of linguistic convergence developed throughout millennia of interaction between the peoples of Mesoamerica. All Mayan languages display the basic diagnostic traits of this linguistic area. For example, all use relational nouns instead of prepositions to indicate spatial relationships. They also possess grammatical and typological features that set them apart from other languages of Mesoamerica, such as the use of ergativity in the grammatical treatment of verbs and their subjects and objects, specific inflectional categories on verbs, and a special word class of "positionals" which is typical of all Mayan languages. During the pre-Columbian era of Mesoamerican history, some Mayan languages were written in the logo-syllabic Maya script. Its use was particularly widespread during the Classic period of Maya civilization (c. 250–900). The surviving corpus of over 5,000 known individual Maya inscriptions on buildings, monuments, pottery and bark-paper codices,[3] combined with the rich post-Conquest literature in Mayan languages written in the Latin script, provides a basis for the modern understanding of pre-Columbian history unparalleled in the Americas." - Mayan_languages.

"In Guatemala, indigenous people of Maya descent comprise around 42% of the population.[3][20] The largest and most traditional Maya populations are in the western highlands in the departments of Baja Verapaz, Quiché, Totonicapán, Huehuetenango, Quetzaltenango, and San Marcos; their inhabitants are mostly Maya.[21] The Maya people of the Guatemala highlands include the Achi, Akatek, Chuj, Ixil, Jakaltek, Kaqchikel, Kʼicheʼ, Mam, Poqomam, Poqomchiʼ, Qʼanjobʼal, Qʼeqchiʼ, Tzʼutujil and Uspantek. The Qʼeqchiʼ live in lowland areas of Alta Vera Paz, Peten, and Western Belize. Over the course of the succeeding centuries a series of land displacements, re-settlements, persecutions and migrations resulted in a wider dispersal of Qʼeqchiʼ communities, into other regions of Guatemala (Izabal, Petén, El Quiché). They are the 2nd largest ethnic Maya group in Guatemala (after the Kʼicheʼ) and one of the largest and most widespread throughout Central America. In Guatemala, the Spanish colonial pattern of keeping the native population legally separate and subservient continued well into the 20th century.[citation needed] This resulted in many traditional customs being retained, as the only other option than traditional Maya life open to most Maya was entering the Hispanic culture at the very bottom rung. Because of this many Guatemalan Maya, especially women, continue to wear traditional clothing, that varies according to their specific local identity. The southeastern region of Guatemala (bordering with Honduras) includes groups such as the Chʼortiʼ. The northern lowland Petén region includes the Itza, whose language is near extinction but whose agroforestry practices, including use of dietary and medicinal plants may still tell us much about pre-colonial management of the Maya lowlands.[22]" →"Mayan languages"

グアテマラでは、マヤ系の先住民が人口の約42%を占める。最大かつ最も伝統的なマヤの人口は、バハ・ベラパス県、キチェ県、トトニカパン県、フエウエテ ナンゴ県、ケツァルテナンゴ県、サンマルコス県の西部高地に存在する。グアテマラ高地のマヤ族には、Achi、Akatek、Chuj、Ixil、 Jakaltek、Kaqchikel、Kʼicheʼ、Mam、Poqomam、Poqomchiʼ、Qʼanjobʼal、Qʼeqchiʼ、 Tzʼutujil、Uspantekが含まれる。QʼeqchiʼはAlta Vera Paz、Peten、西ベリーズの低地に住む。その後何世紀にもわたって、土地の移動、再定住、迫害、移住が繰り返され、Qʼeqchiʼのコミュニティ はグアテマラの他の地域(Izabal、Petén、El Quiché)へと広く分散した。彼らはグアテマラでKʼicheʼ族に次いで2番目に大きなマヤ民族グループであり、中央アメリカ全体で最も大きく、最 も広く分布しているグループのひとつである。グアテマラでは、先住民を法的に分離し従属させるというスペインの植民地支配のパターンが20世紀まで続いた [要出典]。その結果、多くの伝統的な習慣が保持されることになり、ほとんどのマヤにとって伝統的なマヤの生活以外の選択肢は、最底辺のヒスパニック文化 に入ることしかなかった。このため、グアテマラ・マヤの多く、特に女性は、それぞれの地域のアイデンティティによって異なる伝統的な衣服を着続けている。 グアテマラ南東部(ホンジュラスとの国境)にはChʼortiʼのようなグループがある。ペテン北部の低地にはイツァ族がおり、彼らの言語は絶滅寸前だ が、食用植物や薬用植物の利用を含む農林業は、植民地時代以前のマヤ低地の管理について、まだ多くのことを物語っているかもしれない。

●Western branch
The Chʼolan languages were formerly widespread throughout the Maya area, but today the language with most speakers is Chʼol, spoken by 130,000 in Chiapas.[26] Its closest relative, the Chontal Maya language,[notes 10] is spoken by 55,000[27] in the state of Tabasco. Another related language, now endangered, is Chʼortiʼ, which is spoken by 30,000 in Guatemala.[28] It was previously also spoken in the extreme west of Honduras and El Salvador, but the Salvadorian variant is now extinct and the Honduran one is considered moribund. Chʼoltiʼ, a sister language of Chʼortiʼ, is also extinct.[7] Chʼolan languages are believed to be the most conservative in vocabulary and phonology, and are closely related to the language of the Classic-era inscriptions found in the Central Lowlands. They may have served as prestige languages, coexisting with other dialects in some areas. This assumption provides a plausible explanation for the geographical distance between the Chʼortiʼ zone and the areas where Chʼol and Chontal are spoken.[29] The closest relatives of the Chʼolan languages are the languages of the Tzeltalan branch, Tzotzil and Tzeltal, both spoken in Chiapas by large and stable or growing populations (265,000 for Tzotzil and 215,000 for Tzeltal).[30] Tzeltal has tens of thousands of monolingual speakers.[31] Qʼanjobʼal is spoken by 77,700 in Guatemala's Huehuetenango department,[32] with small populations elsewhere. The region of Qʼanjobalan speakers in Guatemala, due to genocidal policies during the Civil War and its close proximity to the Mexican border, was the source of a number of refugees. Thus there are now small Qʼanjobʼal, Jakaltek, and Akatek populations in various locations in Mexico, the United States (such as Tuscarawas County, Ohio[33] and Los Angeles, California[34]), and, through postwar resettlement, other parts of Guatemala.[35] Jakaltek (also known as Poptiʼ[36]) is spoken by almost 100,000 in several municipalities[37] of Huehuetenango. Another member of this branch is Akatek, with over 50,000 speakers in San Miguel Acatán and San Rafael La Independencia.[38] Chuj is spoken by 40,000 people in Huehuetenango, and by 9,500 people, primarily refugees, over the border in Mexico, in the municipality of La Trinitaria, Chiapas, and the villages of Tziscau and Cuauhtémoc. Tojolabʼal is spoken in eastern Chiapas by 36,000 people.[39]

Chʼolan言語はかつてマヤ全域で話されていたが、現在最も話者が多いのはChʼolで、チアパス州で13万人が話している。最も近縁の Chontalマヤ語[注釈 10]はタバスコ州で5万5千人が話している。また、現在は絶滅の危機に瀕しているが、グアテマラで3万人が話すChʼortiʼも関連言語である。以前 はホンジュラスとエルサルバドルの最西部でも話されていたが、サルバドルのものは現在絶滅し、ホンジュラスのものは死滅したと考えられている。 Chʼortiʼの姉妹語であるChʼoltiʼも絶滅している。Chʼolan言語は語彙と音韻において最も保守的で、中央低地で発見された古典時代の 碑文の言語と密接な関係があると考えられている。中央低地で発見された古典時代の碑文の言語と密接に関連しており、一部の地域では他の方言と共存しなが ら、威信をかけた言語として機能していた可能性がある。この仮定は、Chʼortiʼ地帯とChʼolやChontalが話されている地域との地理的な距 離をもっともらしく説明するものである。Chʼolanの最も近い親戚はTzeltalanのTzotzilとTzeltalで、どちらもChiapas で話され、人口が多く安定しているか増えている(Tzotzilは265,000人、Tzeltalは215,000人)。ツェルタル語は数万人の単言語 話者がいる。QʼanjobʼalはグアテマラのHuehuetenango県で77,700人が話し、その他の地域では人口が少ない。グアテマラの Qʼanjobalan語を話す地域は、内戦中の大量虐殺政策とメキシコ国境に近いことから、多くの難民の発生源となった。そのため、現在ではメキシコ、 アメリカ(オハイオ州タスカラワス郡やカリフォルニア州ロサンゼルスなど)の各地に小さなQʼanjobʼal、Jakaltek、Akatekの集団が 存在し、戦後の再定住によってグアテマラの他の地域にも広がっている。Jakaltek(Poptiʼとしても知られる)は、Huehuetenango のいくつかの自治体で10万人近くが話す。この支部のもう一つのメンバーはアカテク語で、サン・ミゲル・アカタンとサン・ラファエル・ラ・インデペンデン シアで5万人以上が話しています。Chujはフエウエテナンゴで40,000人が話し、国境を越えてメキシコのチアパス州ラ・トリニタリア市とツィスカウ 村、クアウテモック村で難民を中心に9,500人が話している。Tojolabʼalはチアパス州東部で36,000人に話されている。

●Eastern branch
The Quichean–Mamean languages and dialects, with two sub-branches and three subfamilies, are spoken in the Guatemalan highlands. Qʼeqchiʼ (sometimes spelled Kekchi), which constitutes its own sub-branch within Quichean–Mamean, is spoken by about 800,000 people in the southern Petén, Izabal and Alta Verapaz departments of Guatemala, and also in Belize by 9,000 speakers. In El Salvador it is spoken by 12,000 as a result of recent migrations.[40] The Uspantek language, which also springs directly from the Quichean–Mamean node, is native only to the Uspantán municipio in the department of El Quiché, and has 3,000 speakers.[41] Within the Quichean sub-branch Kʼicheʼ (Quiché), the Mayan language with the largest number of speakers, is spoken by around 1,000,000 Kʼicheʼ Maya in the Guatemalan highlands, around the towns of Chichicastenango and Quetzaltenango and in the Cuchumatán mountains, as well as by urban emigrants in Guatemala City.[32] The famous Maya mythological document, Popol Vuh, is written in an antiquated Kʼicheʼ often called Classical Kʼicheʼ (or Quiché). The Kʼicheʼ culture was at its pinnacle at the time of the Spanish conquest. Qʼumarkaj, near the present-day city of Santa Cruz del Quiché, was its economic and ceremonial center.[42] Achi is spoken by 85,000 people in Cubulco and Rabinal, two municipios of Baja Verapaz. In some classifications, e.g. the one by Campbell, Achi is counted as a form of Kʼicheʼ. However, owing to a historical division between the two ethnic groups, the Achi Maya do not regard themselves as Kʼicheʼ.[notes 11] The Kaqchikel language is spoken by about 400,000 people in an area stretching from Guatemala City westward to the northern shore of Lake Atitlán.[43] Tzʼutujil has about 90,000 speakers in the vicinity of Lake Atitlán.[44] Other members of the Kʼichean branch are Sakapultek, spoken by about 15,000 people mostly in El Quiché department,[45] and Sipakapense, which is spoken by 8,000 people in Sipacapa, San Marcos.[46] The largest language in the Mamean sub-branch is Mam, spoken by 478,000 people in the departments of San Marcos and Huehuetenango. Awakatek is the language of 20,000 inhabitants of central Aguacatán, another municipality of Huehuetenango. Ixil (possibly three different languages) is spoken by 70,000 in the "Ixil Triangle" region of the department of El Quiché.[47] Tektitek (or Teko) is spoken by over 6,000 people in the municipality of Tectitán, and 1,000 refugees in Mexico. According to the Ethnologue the number of speakers of Tektitek is growing.[48] The Poqom languages are closely related to Core Quichean, with which they constitute a Poqom-Kʼichean sub-branch on the Quichean–Mamean node.[49] Poqomchiʼ is spoken by 90,000 people[50] in Purulhá, Baja Verapaz, and in the following municipalities of Alta Verapaz: Santa Cruz Verapaz, San Cristóbal Verapaz, Tactic, Tamahú and Tucurú. Poqomam is spoken by around 49,000 people in several small pockets in Guatemala.[51]

グアテマラ高地では、2つの亜分派と3つの亜科を持つキチェ語-マメ語の言語と方言が話されている。Qʼeqchiʼ(Kekchiと表記されることもあ る)は、キチェ語-マメ語の中で独自の亜分派を構成しており、グアテマラの南部ペテン県、イザバル県、アルタ・ベラパス県で約80万人が話し、ベリーズで も9,000人が話している。エルサルバドルでは、近年の移住の結果、12,000人がこの言語を話している。ウスパンテク語は、キチェ語-マメ語ノード から直接派生したもので、エル・キチェ県のウスパンテン・ミュニシピオのみが母語であり、3,000人の話者がいる。グアテマラ高地、チチカステナンゴと ケツァルテナンゴの町周辺、クチュマタン山脈の約100万人のKʼʼʼʼマヤ人によって話されている。 有名なマヤの神話文書『ポポル・ヴフ』は、しばしばClassical Kʼicheʼ(またはQuiché)と呼ばれる古代のKʼicheʼで書かれている。Kʼicheʼ文化はスペインによる征服時に頂点に達した。現在の サンタ・クルス・デル・キチェ市近郊のQʼmarkajは、その経済と儀式の中心地であった。 アチ語はバハ・ベラパスの2つの自治体、クブルコとラビナルで85,000人に話されている。Campbellによる分類などでは、アチ語は Kʼicheʼの一種として数えられている。カクチケル語はグアテマラシティからアティトラン湖北岸にかけての地域で約40万人に話されている。 Tzʼutujil語はアティトラン湖周辺で約9万人が話す。 Kʼichean支部の他のメンバーには、El Quiché県を中心に約15,000人が話すSakapultekと、San MarcosのSipacapaで8,000人が話すSipakapenseがある。 マメアン亜支部で最大の言語はマム語で、サンマルコス県とフエウエテナンゴ県で47万8,000人が話している。アワカテク語は、フエウエテナンゴのもう ひとつの自治体であるアグアカタン中央部の住民2万人が話す言語である。イシル語(おそらく3つの異なる言語)は、エル・キチェ県の「イシル・トライアン グル」地域で7万人が話す。 Tektitek(またはTeko)は、Tectitánの自治体で6,000人以上が話し、メキシコでは1,000人が難民となっている。 Ethnologueによると、テクティテクの話者数は増加傾向にある。 バハ・ベラパスのプルルハ、アルタ・ベラパスの以下の自治体で90,000人がPoqomchiʼ語を話す: サンタ・クルス・ベラパス、サン・クリストバル・ベラパス、タクティック、タマフー、トゥクルー。ポコマム語は、グアテマラのいくつかの小さな地域で約 49,000人に話されている。
Yucatecan branch Yucatec Maya (known simply as "Maya" to its speakers) is the most commonly spoken Mayan language in Mexico. It is currently spoken by approximately 800,000 people, the vast majority of whom are to be found on the Yucatán Peninsula.[32][52] It remains common in Yucatán and in the adjacent states of Quintana Roo and Campeche.[53] The other three Yucatecan languages are Mopan, spoken by around 10,000 speakers primarily in Belize; Itzaʼ, an extinct or moribund language from Guatemala's Petén Basin;[54] and Lacandón or Lakantum, also severely endangered with about 1,000 speakers in a few villages on the outskirts of the Selva Lacandona, in Chiapas.[55]
+++++++
ユカテク・マヤ語(Yucatec Maya)は、メキシコで最も一般的に話されているマヤ語である。現在、約80万人に話されており、その大部分はユカタン半島で話されている。 現在もユカタン半島と隣接するキンタナ・ロー州、カンペチェ州でよく使われています。他の3つのユカタン語は、主にベリーズで約1万人の話者が話すモパン 語、グアテマラのペテン盆地で絶滅または死滅したイツァ語、チアパスのセルバ・ラカンドナ郊外のいくつかの村で約1000人の話者が話すラカンドン語また はラカントゥム語である。
Huastecan branch
Wastek (also spelled Huastec and Huaxtec) is spoken in the Mexican states of Veracruz and San Luis Potosí by around 110,000 people.[56] It is the most divergent of modern Mayan languages. Chicomuceltec was a language related to Wastek and spoken in Chiapas that became extinct some time before 1982.[57]
+++++++
ワステク語(ワステック語、フアステック語とも表記される)は、メキシコのベラクルス州とサン・ルイス・ポトシ州で約11万人に話されている。チコムセル テックは、ワステックに近縁のチアパス州で話されていた言語で、1982年以前に絶滅した。
Phonology



Proto-Mayan sound system/Phonological evolution of Proto-Mayan/Diphthongs(二重母音)
+++++++
Proto-Mayan (the common ancestor of the Mayan languages as reconstructed using the comparative method) has a predominant CVC syllable structure, only allowing consonant clusters across syllable boundaries.[7][22][notes 12] Most Proto-Mayan roots were monosyllabic except for a few disyllabic nominal roots. Due to subsequent vowel loss many Mayan languages now show complex consonant clusters at both ends of syllables. Following the reconstruction of Lyle Campbell and Terrence Kaufman, the Proto-Mayan language had the following sounds.[22] It has been suggested that proto-Mayan was a tonal language, based on the fact that four different contemporary Mayan languages have tone (Yucatec, Uspantek, San Bartolo Tzotzil[notes 13] and Mochoʼ), but since these languages each can be shown to have innovated tone in different ways, Campbell considers this unlikely.[22]
プロト=マヤ語(比較法によって復元されたマヤ諸語の共通祖先)は、音節の境界を越える子音クラスターのみを許容する CVC 音節構造が主流である。プロト=マヤ語の語根は、いくつかの二音節の名詞語根を除き、ほとんどが単音節でした。その後の母音の消失により、多くのマヤ語は 音節の両端に複雑な子音クラスターを示すようになった。ライル・キャンベルとテレンス・カウフマンの復元によれば、プロト=マヤ語には以下のような音が あった。プロト=マヤ語は調性言語であったという説があるが、これは現代のマヤ語には4つの異なる調性言語がある(ユカテク語、ウスパンテク語、サン・バ ルトロ・ツォツィル語、モチョ語)ことに基づいている。
+++++++
Phonological evolution of Proto-Mayan
Main article: Proto-Mayan language.
The classification of Mayan languages is based on changes shared between groups of languages. For example, languages of the western group (such as Huastecan, Yucatecan and Chʼolan) all changed the Proto-Mayan phoneme */r/ into [j], some languages of the eastern branch retained [r] (Kʼichean), and others changed it into [tʃ] or, word-finally, [t] (Mamean). The shared innovations between Huastecan, Yucatecan and Chʼolan show that they separated from the other Mayan languages before the changes found in other branches had taken place.[58]
プロト=マヤ語の音韻進化
主な記事 プロト=マヤ語
マヤ語の分類は、言語グループ間で共有される変化に基づいている。例えば、西側のグループの言語(ワステカ語、ユカテカ語、チオラン語など)はすべてプロ ト=マヤ語の音素*/r/を[j]に変化させ、東側の枝のいくつかの言語は[r]を保持し(Kʼichean)、他の言語は[tʃ]または最終的に[t] に変化させた(Mamean)。Huastecan、Yucatecan、Chʼolanの間で共有されている革新は、他の分派で見られる変化が起こる前 に他のマヤ語から分離したことを示している。
+++++++
The palatalized plosives [tʲʼ] and [tʲ] are not found in most of the modern families. Instead they are reflected differently in different branches, allowing a reconstruction of these phonemes as palatalized plosives. In the eastern branch (Chujean-Qʼanjobalan and Chʼolan) they are reflected as [t] and [tʼ]. In Mamean they are reflected as [ts] and [tsʼ] and in Quichean as [tʃ] and [tʃʼ]. Yucatec stands out from other western languages in that its palatalized plosives are sometimes changed into [tʃ] and sometimes [t].[59]
口蓋化撥音[tʲʼ]と[tʲ]は、ほとんどの現代語族には見られない。その代わりに、口蓋化撥音としてこれらの音素を再構築することができるように、異 なる枝で異なるように反映される。東部支族(Chujean-QʼanjobalanとChʼolan)では、[t]と[tʼ]として反映される。 Mameanでは[ts]と[tsʼ]として、Quicheanでは[tʃ]と[tʃʼ]として反映される。ユカテク語は、口蓋化された撥音が[tʃ]や [t]に変化することがあるという点で、他の西側の言語と異なっている。
+++++++
The Proto-Mayan velar nasal *[ŋ] is reflected as [x] in the eastern branches (Quichean–Mamean), [n] in Qʼanjobalan, Chʼolan and Yucatecan, [h] in Huastecan, and only conserved as [ŋ] in Chuj and Jakaltek.[58][61][62]
プロト=マヤ語のベラル鼻音 *[ŋ] は、東部分岐(Quichean-Mamean)では [x] として、Qʼanjobalan、Chʼolan、Yucatecanでは [n] として、Huastecanでは [h] として反映され、ChujとJakaltekでは [ŋ] としてのみ保存されている。
+++++++
Diphthongs
Vowel quality is typically classified as having monophthongal vowels. In traditionally diphthongized contexts, Mayan languages will realize the V-V sequence by inserting a hiatus-breaking glottal stop or glide insertion between the vowels. Some Kʼichean-branch languages have exhibited developed diphthongs from historical long vowels, by breaking /e:/ and /o:/.
二重母音
母音の質は、一般的に単母音に分類される。伝統的に二重母音化された文脈では、マヤ語は母音と母音の間に、休止を破る声門停止や滑舌挿入を挿入すること で、V-Vシークエンスを実現する。K'ichean-branchの言語の中には、/e:/や/o:/を破裂させることで、歴史的な長母音から二重母音 を発達させたものもある。
Grammar
The morphology of Mayan languages is simpler than that of other Mesoamerican languages,[notes 14] yet its morphology is still considered agglutinating and polysynthetic.[62] Verbs are marked for aspect or tense, the person of the subject, the person of the object (in the case of transitive verbs), and for plurality of person. Possessed nouns are marked for person of possessor. In Mayan languages, nouns are not marked for case and gender is not explicitly marked.
+++++++
マヤ語の形態論は、他のメソアメリカ諸語の形態論よりも単純であるが、それでもなお、その形態論は膠着性で多義的であると考えられている。動詞は、アスペ クトや時制、主語の人称、目的語の人称(他動詞の場合)、人称の複数を表す。所有名詞は、所有者の人称を表す。マヤ語では、名詞は格を表さず、性別も明示 されない。
Grammar- Word order Proto-Mayan is thought to have had a basic verb–object–subject word order with possibilities of switching to VSO in certain circumstances, such as complex sentences, sentences where object and subject were of equal animacy and when the subject was definite.[notes 15] Today Yucatecan, Tzotzil and Tojolabʼal have a basic fixed VOS word order. Mamean, Qʼanjobʼal, Jakaltek and one dialect of Chuj have a fixed VSO one. Only Chʼortiʼ has a basic SVO word order. Other Mayan languages allow both VSO and VOS word orders.[63]
+++++++
プロト=マヤ語は基本的な動詞-目的語-主語の語順で、複雑な文、目的語と主語が同格の文、主語が明確な文など、特定の状況でVSOに切り替わる可能性が あったと考えられている。Mamean、Qʼanjobʼal、Jakaltek、Chujの方言はVSOの固定語順である。Chʼortiʼだけが基本 的なSVO語順を持っている。他のマヤ語ではVSOとVOSの両方の語順が認められている。
Grammar- Numeral classifiers
In many Mayan languages, counting requires the use of numeral classifiers, which specify the class of items being counted; the numeral cannot appear without an accompanying classifier. Some Mayan languages, such as Kaqchikel, do not use numeral classifiers. Class is usually assigned according to whether the object is animate or inanimate or according to an object's general shape.[64] Thus when counting "flat" objects, a different form of numeral classifier is used than when counting round things, oblong items or people. In some Mayan languages such as Chontal, classifiers take the form of affixes attached to the numeral; in others such as Tzeltal, they are free forms. Jakaltek has both numeral classifiers and noun classifiers, and the noun classifiers can also be used as pronouns.[65] The meaning denoted by a noun may be altered significantly by changing the accompanying classifier. In Chontal, for example, when the classifier -tek is used with names of plants it is understood that the objects being enumerated are whole trees. If in this expression a different classifier, -tsʼit (for counting long, slender objects) is substituted for -tek, this conveys the meaning that only sticks or branches of the tree are being counted:[66]
+++++++
多くのマヤ語では、数を数えるには、数詞を使う必要がある。数詞は、数えられている項目のクラスを指定するもので、数詞を伴わずに数字を表すことはできな い。カクチケル語のように、数詞を使わないマヤ語もあります。分類は通常、その物体が生物か無生物か、または物体の一般的な形状によって割り当てられる。 したがって、「平らな」物体を数えるときには、丸いものや長方形のもの、人を数えるときとは異なる形の数詞が使われる。チョンタル語のようないくつかのマ ヤ語では、分類子は数字に付属する接辞の形をとるが、ツェルタル語のような他の言語では自由形式である。Jakaltek には、数詞の分類詞と名詞の分類詞があり、名詞の分類詞は代名詞としても使用できます。名詞が表す意味は、付随する分類詞を変えることで大きく変わること があります。たとえば、チョンタール語では、植物の名前とともに分類子 -tek が使用される場合、列挙される対象は木全体であると理解される。この表現で、-tekの代わりに別の分類子、-tsʼit(細長いものを数える)が使われ ると、木の棒や枝だけを数えるという意味になる:

The morphology of Mayan nouns is fairly simple: they inflect for number (plural or singular), and, when possessed, for person and number of their possessor. Pronominal possession is expressed by a set of possessive prefixes attached to the noun, as in Kaqchikel ru-kej "his/her horse". Nouns may furthermore adopt a special form marking them as possessed. For nominal possessors, the possessed noun is inflected as possessed by a third-person possessor, and followed by the possessor noun, e.g. Kaqchikel ru-kej ri achin "the man's horse" (literally "his horse the man").[67] This type of formation is a main diagnostic trait of the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area and recurs throughout Mesoamerica.[68] Mayan languages often contrast alienable and inalienable possession by varying the way the noun is (or is not) marked as possessed. Jakaltek, for example, contrasts inalienably possessed wetʃel "my photo (in which I am depicted)" with alienably possessed wetʃele "my photo (taken by me)". The prefix we- marks the first person singular possessor in both, but the absence of the -e possessive suffix in the first form marks inalienable possession.[67]
+++++++
マヤ語の名詞の形態は非常に単純で、数(複数形または単数形)に屈折し、所有される場 合は、所有者の人称と数に屈折します。代名詞の所有は、Kaqchikel ru-kej 「彼/彼女の馬」のように、名詞に付く所有接頭辞のセットで表します。名詞はさらに、所有されていることを示す特別な形をとることがあります。名詞的所有 格の場合、所有格の名詞は三人称の所有格に所有されているものとして屈折し、所有格の名詞が続きます。このような形成はメソアメリカ言語圏の主な特徴であ り、メソアメリカ全域で見られます。マヤの言語では、名詞が所有されている(または所有されていない)ことを示す方法を変えることで、疎外可能な所有と疎 外不可能な所有を対比させることがよくあります。たとえば、ジャカルテク語では、不可知的所有のwetʃ「(私が写っている)私の写真」と不可知的所有の wetʃele「(私が撮った)私の写真」を対比する。どちらも接頭辞we-が一人称単数の所有者を示すが、最初の形には所有接尾辞-eがないため、不可 分の所有を示す。
Grammar- Relational nouns
Mayan languages which have prepositions at all normally have only one. To express location and other relations between entities, use is made of a special class of "relational nouns". This pattern is also recurrent throughout Mesoamerica and is another diagnostic trait of the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area. In Mayan most relational nouns are metaphorically derived from body parts so that "on top of", for example, is expressed by the word for head.[69]
+++++++
マヤ語では、前置詞は通常 1 つしかない。位置や、エンティティ間のその他の関係を表すには、「関係名詞」という特別なクラスが使用される。このパターンはメソアメリカ全土に見られ、 メソアメリカ言語圏のもう一つの特徴である。マヤ語では、ほとんどの関係名詞が体の部位に由来するため、たとえば「on top of」は「head」という単語で表現される。
Grammar- Subjects and objects
Mayan languages are ergative in their alignment. This means that the subject of an intransitive verb is treated similarly to the object of a transitive verb, but differently from the subject of a transitive verb.[70] Mayan languages have two sets of affixes that are attached to a verb to indicate the person of its arguments. One set (often referred to in Mayan grammars as set B) indicates the person of subjects of intransitive verbs, and of objects of transitive verbs. They can also be used with adjective or noun predicates to indicate the subject.[71]
+++++++
マヤ語は能格言語=エルガティブ(ergative)である。つま り、自動詞の主語は他動詞の目的語と同様に扱われるが、他動詞の主語とは異なる。マヤ語には、引数の人称を表すために動詞に付ける接辞が2つあります。マ ヤ語の文法ではBセットと呼ばれることが多い)1つは自動詞の主語の人称を表し、もう1つは他動詞の目的語の人称を表す。また、形容詞や名詞の述語で主語 を表すこともあります。



マヤ語は、能格言語である。能格言語の特徴は、他動詞の目的語の活用と、自動詞の活用が同じ形態をとる。英語のような対格言語では、自動詞と他動詞の活用 は同じで区別されず、他動詞の目的語の活用は動詞の活用とは無関係にユニークである。
Grammar- Verbs; Class A (Set A); Class B (Set B)
Tense systems in Mayan languages are generally simple. Jakaltek, for example, contrasts only past and non-past, while Mam has only future and non-future. Aspect systems are normally more prominent. Mood does not normally form a separate system in Mayan, but is instead intertwined with the tense/aspect system.[72] Kaufman has reconstructed a tense/aspect/mood system for proto-Mayan that includes seven aspects: incompletive, progressive, completive/punctual, imperative, potential/future, optative, and perfective.[73] Mayan languages tend to have a rich set of grammatical voices. Proto-Mayan had at least one passive construction as well as an antipassive rule for downplaying the importance of the agent in relation to the patient. Modern Kʼicheʼ has two antipassives: one which ascribes focus to the object and another that emphasizes the verbal action.[74] Other voice-related constructions occurring in Mayan languages are the following: mediopassive, incorporational (incorporating a direct object into the verb), instrumental (promoting the instrument to object position) and referential (a kind of applicative promoting an indirect argument such as a benefactive or recipient to the object position).[75]
+++++++
マヤ語の時制は一般的に単純である。たとえば、Jakaltek語は過去と非過去のみを対照とし、Mam語は未来と非未来のみを対照とする。アスペクト系 は通常、より顕著です。マヤ語では通常、気分は独立したシステムではなく、時制/アスペクトシステムと絡み合っています。カウフマンは、プロトマヤ語の時 制/アスペクト/ムード体系を再構築し、不完了体、進行形、完了体/接続体、命令形、潜在/未来、視唱、完了体の7つのアスペクトを含むとした。マヤの言 語には豊富な文法声部がある。原マヤ語には少なくとも1つの受動構文があり、患者に対する代理人の重要性を軽視するための反受動規則もあった。現代の Kʼicheʼには2つの反受身がある。1つは目的語に焦点を当てるもので、もう1つは動詞の動作を強調するものである。その他、マヤ語には次のような音 声関連の構文があります:媒介受動態、組込み(直接目的語を動詞に組み込む)、器械的(器械を目的語の位置に促進する)、参照的(beneffact や recipient などの間接的な引数を目的語の位置に促進する一種のアプリケーティブ)。
Class A (Set A) 他動詞の活用。他動詞を使い、目的語を主格にすると受動態表現が可能に なる。
Class B (Set B) 自動詞の活用と他動詞の目的語の活用は同じであるので、文章のなかで峻 別しなければならない。この活用のタイプだと、他動詞を使った受動態表現が可能である。それと同時に、目的語(の機能をもつ単語)をマークすることを通し て、自動詞をつかって、受動表現をおこなうことが可能になる。後者の文の変形操作を逆受動態(anti-passive)という。
Grammar- Antipassive voice The antipassive voice (abbreviated antip or ap) is a type of grammatical voice that either does not include the object or includes the object in an oblique case. This construction is similar to the passive voice, in that it decreases the verb's valency by one – the passive by deleting the agent and "promoting" the object to become the subject of the passive construction, the antipassive by deleting the object and "promoting" the agent to become the subject of the antipassive construction.
+++++++
逆受動態(antipまたはapと略される)は、目的語 を含まないか、または斜格で目的語を含む文法的な音声の一種です。この構文は受動態と似ているが、動詞の価数を1つ減らすという点で、受動態はエージェン トを削除して目的語を受動態の主語に「昇格」させ、逆受動態は目的語を削除してエージェントを反受動態の主語に「昇格」させる。
Grammar- Statives and positionals
In Mayan languages, statives are a class of predicative words expressing a quality or state, whose syntactic properties fall in between those of verbs and adjectives in Indo-European languages. Like verbs, statives can sometimes be inflected for person but normally lack inflections for tense, aspect and other purely verbal categories. Statives can be adjectives, positionals or numerals.[76] Positionals, a class of roots characteristic of, if not unique to, the Mayan languages, form stative adjectives and verbs (usually with the help of suffixes) with meanings related to the position or shape of an object or person. Mayan languages have between 250 and 500 distinct positional roots:[76]
+++++++
マヤ語では、動詞と形容詞の中間に位置する構文特性を持つ、質や状態を表す述語の一種である。動詞と同様に、状態詞も人称の屈折を伴うことがありますが、 通常は時制やアスペクト、その他の純粋に動詞的なカテゴリーの屈折を伴いません。位置詞は、マヤ諸語の特徴的な根のクラスで、(通常は接尾辞の助けを借り て)形容詞や動詞を形成し、物体や人の位置や形に関連する意味を持ちます。マヤ語には、250から500の異なる位置語根があります:
Grammar- Word formation Compounding of noun roots to form new nouns is commonplace; there are also many morphological processes to derive nouns from verbs. Verbs also admit highly productive derivational affixes of several kinds, most of which specify transitivity or voice.[78] As in other Mesoamerican languages, there is widespread metaphorical use of roots denoting body parts, particularly to form locatives and relational nouns, such as Kaqchikel -pan ("inside" and "stomach") or -wi ("head-hair" and "on top of").[79]
+++++++
また、動詞から名詞を派生させる形態論的な過程も数多く存在する。また、動詞から名詞を派生させる形態論的な過程も数多くあります。動詞には、非常に 生産性の高い、さまざまな種類の派生接辞があります。他のメソアメリカ諸語と同様に、体の部位を表す語根の比喩的な使用が広まり、特に、カクチケル語の -pan(「内部」、「胃」)や -wi(「頭髪」、「上に」)のような、位置詞や関係詞を形成するために使用されます。

The complex script used to write Mayan languages in pre-Columbian times and known today from engravings at several Maya archaeological sites has been deciphered almost completely. The script is a mix between a logographic and a syllabic system.[83] In colonial times Mayan languages came to be written in a script derived from the Latin alphabet; orthographies were developed mostly by missionary grammarians.[84] Not all modern Mayan languages have standardized orthographies, but the Mayan languages of Guatemala use a standardized, Latin-based phonemic spelling system developed by the Academia de Lenguas Mayas de Guatemala (ALMG).[16][17] Orthographies for the languages of Mexico are currently being developed by the Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas (INALI).[22][85]→Glyphic writing :The pre-Columbian Maya civilization developed and used an intricate and fully functional writing system, which is the only Mesoamerican script that can be said to be almost fully deciphered. Earlier-established civilizations to the west and north of the Maya homelands that also had scripts recorded in surviving inscriptions include the Zapotec, Olmec, and the Zoque-speaking peoples of the southern Veracruz and western Chiapas area—but their scripts are as yet largely undeciphered. It is generally agreed that the Maya writing system was adapted from one or more of these earlier systems. A number of references identify the undeciphered Olmec script as its most likely precursor.[86][87] In the course of the deciphering of the Maya hieroglyphic script, scholars have come to understand that it was a fully functioning writing system in which it was possible to express unambiguously any sentence of the spoken language. The system is of a type best classified as logosyllabic, in which symbols (glyphs or graphemes) can be used as either logograms or syllables.[83] The script has a complete syllabary (although not all possible syllables have yet been identified), and a Maya scribe would have been able to write anything phonetically, syllable by syllable, using these symbols.[83] At least two major Mayan languages have been confidently identified in hieroglyphic texts, with at least one other language probably identified. An archaic language variety known as Classic Maya predominates in these texts, particularly in the Classic-era inscriptions of the southern and central lowland areas. This language is most closely related to the Chʼolan branch of the language family, modern descendants of which include Chʼol, Chʼortiʼ and Chontal. Inscriptions in an early Yucatecan language (the ancestor of the main surviving Yucatec language) have also been recognised or proposed, mainly in the Yucatán Peninsula region and from a later period. Three of the four extant Maya codices are based on Yucatec. It has also been surmised that some inscriptions found in the Chiapas highlands region may be in a Tzeltalan language whose modern descendants are Tzeltal and Tzotzil.[29] Other regional varieties and dialects are also presumed to have been used, but have not yet been identified with certainty.[11] Use and knowledge of the Maya script continued until the 16th century Spanish conquest at least. Bishop Diego de Landa Calderón of the Catholic Archdiocese of Yucatán prohibited the use of the written language, effectively ending the Mesoamerican tradition of literacy in the native script. He worked with the Spanish colonizers to destroy the bulk of Mayan texts as part of his efforts to convert the locals to Christianity and away from what he perceived as pagan idolatry. Later he described the use of hieroglyphic writing in the religious practices of Yucatecan Maya in his Relación de las cosas de Yucatán.[88]

先コロンビア時代にマヤの言語を書くために使用され、いくつかのマヤの遺跡の彫刻から今日知られている複雑な文字は、ほぼ完全に解読されている。この文字 は、対数文字と音節文字が混在したものである。植民地時代、マヤの言語はラテンアルファベットから派生した文字で書かれるようになった。正書法は、主 に宣教師の文法家によって開発されました。現代のすべてのマヤ諸語が標準化された正書法を持っているわけではありませんが、グアテマラのマヤ諸語は、グア テマラ言語アカデミー(ALMG)によって開発された標準化された、ラテン語ベースの音素綴りシステムを使用している。メキシコの諸言語の正書法は現 在、国立インディオ言語研究所(INALI)が開発中である。→グリフ文字:コロンブス以前のマヤ文明は、複雑で完全に機能する文字体系を開発し、使用し ていた。マヤの故郷の西と北にある、サポテカ、オルメカ、そしてベラクルス南部とチアパス西部のゾク語を話す人々も、現存する碑文に文字が記録されている 先行文明を持っていたが、彼らの文字はまだほとんど解読されていない。一般的に、マヤの文字システムは、これらの以前のシステムの1つまたは複数から適応 されたものであると考えられている。多くの文献は、未解読のオルメカ文字がその前身である可能性が最も高いと指摘している。マヤのヒエログリフ文字が解 読される過程で、学者たちはそれが完全に機能する文字システムであり、話し言葉のあらゆる文を明確に表現することが可能であることを理解するようになっ た。この文字システムは、記号(グリフまたはグラフェム)をロゴグラムまたは音節として使用することができる、ロゴス音節として最もよく分類されるタイプ である。この文字には完全な音節があり(ただし、まだすべての音節が特定されているわけではない)、マヤの書記はこれらの記号を使って、音節ごとに音韻的 に何でも書くことができただろう。少なくとも2つの主要なマヤの言語が、ヒエログリフのテキストから確実に同定されており、少なくとも他の1つの言語も同 定されていると思われる。古典マヤとして知られる古代の言語が、特に南部と中央低地の古典時代の碑文に多く見られる。この言語はマヤ語族のChʼolan に最も近く、現代ではChʼol、Chʼortiʼ、Chontalがその子孫にあたる。初期のユカテカ語(現存する主なユカテク語の祖先)の碑文も、主 にユカタン半島地域とそれ以降の時代のものが認識または提案されている。現存する4つのマヤの写本のうち、3つはユカテク語に基づいています。また、チア パス高地地域で発見されたいくつかの碑文は、ツェルタル語やツォツィル語を現代に伝えるツェルタラン語の可能性があると推測されています。その他の地域的 な言語や方言も使用されていたと推測されているが、確実な特定には至っていない。マヤ文字の使用と知識は、少なくとも16世紀のスペイン征服まで続いた。 ユカタンカトリック大司教区のディエゴ・デ・ランダ・カルデロン司教は文字の使用を禁止し、メソアメリカの伝統であった土着の文字による識字に終止符を 打った。彼はスペインの植民者と協力し、地元の人々をキリスト教に改宗させ、異教の偶像崇拝から遠ざけようとする努力の一環として、マヤ語のテキストの大 部分を破壊した。その後、彼は『ユカタンの歴史』(Relación de las cosas de Yucatán)の中で、ユカタン・マヤの宗教的慣習における象形文字の使用について述べている。
Literature
From the classic language to the present day, a body of literature has been written in Mayan languages. The earliest texts to have been preserved are largely monumental inscriptions documenting rulership, succession, and ascension, conquest and calendrical and astronomical events. It is likely that other kinds of literature were written in perishable media such as codices made of bark, only four of which have survived the ravages of time and the campaign of destruction by Spanish missionaries.[91] Shortly after the Spanish conquest, the Mayan languages began to be written with Latin letters. Colonial-era literature in Mayan languages include the famous Popol Vuh, a mythico-historical narrative written in 17th century Classical Quiché but believed to be based on an earlier work written in the 1550s, now lost. The Título de Totonicapán and the 17th century theatrical work the Rabinal Achí are other notable early works in Kʼicheʼ, the latter in the Achí dialect.[notes 18] The Annals of the Cakchiquels from the late 16th century, which provides a historical narrative of the Kaqchikel, contains elements paralleling some of the accounts appearing in the Popol Vuh. The historical and prophetical accounts in the several variations known collectively as the books of Chilam Balam are primary sources of early Yucatec Maya traditions.[notes 19] The only surviving book of early lyric poetry, the Songs of Dzitbalche by Ah Bam, comes from this same period.[92] In addition to these singular works, many early grammars of indigenous languages, called "artes", were written by priests and friars. Languages covered by these early grammars include Kaqchikel, Classical Quiché, Tzeltal, Tzotzil and Yucatec. Some of these came with indigenous-language translations of the Catholic catechism.[84] While Mayan peoples continued to produce a rich oral literature in the postcolonial period (after 1821), very little written literature was produced in this period.[93][notes 20] Because indigenous languages were excluded from the education systems of Mexico and Guatemala after independence, Mayan peoples remained largely illiterate in their native languages, learning to read and write in Spanish, if at all.[94] However, since the establishment of the Cordemex [95] and the Guatemalan Academy of Mayan Languages (1986), native language literacy has begun to spread and a number of indigenous writers have started a new tradition of writing in Mayan languages.[85][94] Notable among this new generation is the Kʼicheʼ poet Humberto Akʼabʼal, whose works are often published in dual-language Spanish/Kʼicheʼ editions,[96] as well as Kʼicheʼ scholar Luis Enrique Sam Colop (1955–2011) whose translations of the Popol Vuh into both Spanish and modern Kʼicheʼ achieved high acclaim.[97]
+++++++
古典的な言語から現代に至るまで、マヤの言語ではさまざまな文学が書かれてきた。保存されている最古のテキストは、支配権、後継者、昇位、征服、暦学的・ 天文学的出来事を記録した記念碑文が主である。他の種類の文献は、樹皮で作られた写本のような腐りやすい媒体で書かれたと思われるが、そのうちの4つだけ が、時の荒波とスペイン人宣教師による破壊作戦を生き延びた。 スペインによる征服後まもなく、マヤ語はラテン文字で書かれるようになった。植民地時代のマヤ語の文献には、有名なポポル・ヴフ(Popol Vuh)がある。これは17世紀の古典的なキチェ語で書かれた神話と歴史の物語であるが、1550年代に書かれた以前の作品に基づいていると考えられてい る。Título de Totonicapánと17世紀の演劇作品Rabinal Achíは、Kʼicheʼの他の有名な初期の作品で、後者はアチ方言である。16世紀後半に書かれた『Annals of the Cakchiquels』はカクチケルの歴史物語であり、『ポポル・ヴフ』に登場する記述と類似した要素を含んでいる。チラム・バラム(Chilam Balam)の書物として総称されるいくつかのバリエーションにある歴史的、予言的な記述は、ユカテク・マヤの初期の伝統の主要な情報源です。 現存する唯一の初期の抒情詩集であるアーバムの「ジトバルチェの歌」は、この同じ時代に書かれたものです。 このような特異な作品に加え、「アルテス」と呼ばれる多くの初期文法書が司祭や修道士によって書かれました。これらの初期の文法書の対象となった言語に は、カクチケル語、古典キチェ語、ツェルタル語、ツォツィル語、ユカテク語などがある。これらの中には、カトリックのカテキズムを先住民の言葉で翻訳した ものもあった。ポストコロニアル時代(1821年以降)、マヤの人々は豊かな口承文学を作り続けたが、文字文学はほとんど作られなかった。独立後、メキシ コとグアテマラの教育制度から先住民の言語が排除されたため、マヤの人々は母語の読み書きがほとんどできないままであり、スペイン語の読み書きを学んでい た。しかし、コルデメックスとグアテマラ・アカデミー・オブ・マヤ・ランゲージの設立(1986年)以降、母語の読み書きが普及し始め、多くの先住民の作 家がマヤ語で文章を書くという新しい伝統を始めた。この新世代の中で特筆すべきは、スペイン語とキチェ語の二言語版でしばしば作品が出版されるキチェ詩人 Humberto Akʼabʼalや、スペイン語と現代キチェの両方にポポル・ヴフを翻訳して高い評価を得たキチェ学者Luis Enrique Sam Colop(1955-2011)である。
