Kakchikel-K'iche' Mixed Language · 14.6°N 90.7°W

Cauqué Mayan (also known as Kaqchikel–Kʼicheʼ Mixed language) is a mixed language spoken in the village of Santa María Cauqué, Santiago Sacatepéquez, in the Sacatepéquez Department in Guatemala. It is a Kʼicheʼ (Quiché) base relexified by Kaqchikel (Cakchiquel). During the colonial era, Kʼicheʼ migrated to Sacatepéquez, in the heart of Kaqchikel territory, where they founded the village of Santa María Cauque. Today only older adults retain the Kʼicheʼ base to their speech: for younger speakers, the language has merged into Kaqchikel.
