The Kicheean languagesKichee, Kaqchikel, Tzutujil, Sakapulteko, Achi, and Sipakapenseoccupy a prominent place among the indigenous languages of the Americas because of both their historical significance and the number of speakers (more than one million total). Basic K'ichee' Grammar is an extensive and accurate survey of the principal grammatical structures of Kichee. Written in a clear, nontechnical style to facilitate the learning of the language, it is the only Kichee grammar available in English. A pedagogical rather than a reference grammar, the book is a thorough presentation of the basics of the Kichee Maya language organized around graded grammatical lessons accompanied by drills and exercises. Author James L. Mondloch spent ten years in Kichee-speaking communities and provides a complete analysis of the Kichee verb system based on the everyday speech of the people and using a wealth of examples and detailed commentaries on actual usage. A guide for learning the Kichee language, Basic K'ichee' Grammar is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a speaking and reading knowledge of modern Kichee, including linguists, anthropologists, and art historians, as well as nonacademics working in Kichee communities, such as physicians, dentists, community development workers, and educators.
