Focusing on language dynamics, this book explores the Kiche people's use and attitudes towards K'iche' and Spanish in Guatemala. It tests hypotheses regarding their diglossic relationship and the impact of modern identity acceptance on language use across seven communities. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods, the study employs Ethnolinguistic Vitality Theory and Fishman's domains of use framework. It appeals to sociolinguists, Mayanists, and policymakers interested in language maintenance and revitalization efforts. M. Paul Lewis, an expert in the field, brings extensive experience from his work in Guatemala.
