Eight million people throughout Mexico and Central America speak the Mayan language. The most common branch of Mayan, Yucatec Maya is spoken in the entirety of the Yucatan Peninsula, Campeche, and Quintana Roo, as well as in areas of Belize. John Montgomery is an illustrator, epigrapher and writer, who is earning his Ph.D. in Precolumbian Art from the University of New Mexico. A ten-year stay in Central America inspired his passion for the Maya region, its people and history. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his wife and children, who are descendants of the highland Maya.
