Ch'olan languages

The Ch’olan AKA Cholan–Tzeltalan languages are a branch of the Mayan family of Mexico. These languages break into two sections being Cholan and Tzeltalan. Cholan has then two subsections being Western Cholan and Ch'olti'an; these composing the two larger sections of slight linguistic differences portrayed by Kuryłowicz’ Fourth Law of Analogy. The language Tzeltalan also breaks up into sections; Tzendal ( colonial Tzeltal), Tzotzil, and Wastekan. These subsections differ by similar linguistic differences.

Languages

• Cholan (proper): Ch’ol–Chontal, Ch’orti’–Ch’olti’ (likely also Classic Maya)
• Tzeltalan: Tzeltal, Tzotzil

See Mayan languages#Western branch for details.
