K’iche’ (also called Qatzijobʼal or Quiché) is the main language of the K’iche’ people of Central America and an integral part of their heritage. K’iche’ is spoken in southeast Mexico and throughout Guatemala, where it’s the most widely spoken language after Spanish. In fact, in Guatemala alone, there are more than one million K’iche’ speakers, who make up about ten percent of the country’s total population. Among these people, there is a sizable population of monolingual K’iche’ speakers, meaning English to Spanish translation is not sufficient to properly connect with this audience.

K’iche’ is part of the Mayan language family, alongside languages such as Yucatec Maya and Tzeltal, and it has a grammar and syntactic structure that differs greatly from European languages like English. For instance, K’iche’ as spoken today has relatively free word order, which means the position of the subject or verb is crucial and can significantly change the nuance or emphasis of a given phrase. Likewise, K’iche’ verbs are well known by linguists for their complex morphology that expresses the time, duration, and completeness of an action and provides information about the subject and object. While these factors make accurate English to K’iche’ translation difficult, our translators are seasoned professionals who are ready for these challenges.
