The result of many years of observation and study, the Modern Yucatan Dictionary is a no-holds-barred collection of words you will hear in the Yucatan that are not always taught in your regular Spanish class. Complete with pronunciations, slang and Mayan terms, this is the perfect book to take to the Yucatan! Part of the fun of moving somewhere new is, of course, the language, and the Yucatan is no exception, what with all those old Spanish words no longer used in other parts of the Spanish-speaking world mixed in with Mayan terminology and grammar. The Mayans, you see, were the only indigenous group never fully conquered by those ambitious, gold-digging Conquistadores, and their stubborn resistance is visible even today; in many of Yucatan’s rural communities you will hear Mayan spoken without a trace of Spanish and in all the cities, Mayan terms are used alongside Spanish by all socio-economic classes. The Modern Yucatan Dictionary is the product of continuous listening and annotating by its author. This is the fifth revision of this informative dictionary, featuring an ever-increasing collection of unique, entertaining and occasionally rude terminology unique to the area. Enjoy learning how to speak Yucatecan Spanish like a true Yucatecan!
