Tzotzil language
Tzotzil 〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 (native name: ''Bats'i k'op'' ) is a Maya language spoken by the indigenous Tzotzil Maya people in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Most speakers are bilingual in Spanish as a second language. In Central Chiapas, some primary schools and a secondary school are taught in Tzotzil.〔http://www.webs.uvigo.es/weba575/ldm/resumos/TZOTZIL.PDF Resumen Gramatical〕 Tzeltal is the most closely related language to Tzotzil and together they form a Tzeltalan sub-branch of the Mayan language family. Tzeltal, Tzotzil and Ch'ol are the most widely spoken languages in Chiapas.
There are six dialects of Tzotzil with varying degrees of mutual intelligibility, named after the different regions of Chiapas where they are spoken: Chamula, Zinacantán, San Andrés Larráinzar, Huixtán, Chenalhó, and Venustiano Carranza.〔(Ethnologue report for Mexico )〕 The Tzotzil variant of San Bartolomé de Los Llanos, in the Venustiano Carranza region, is unique for having two phonemic tones.〔Sarles, Harvey B. 1966. ''A descriptive grammar of the Tzotzil language as spoken in San Bartolomé de Los Llanos, Chiapas, México''. Ph.D. dissertation, University of Chicago.〕
''Centro de Lengua, Arte y Literatura Indígena'' (CELALI) suggested in 2002 that the name of the language (and the ethnicity) should be spelled Tsotsil, rather than Tzotzil. Native speakers and writers of the language are picking up the habit of using ''s'' instead of ''z''.
