Uspantek (Uspanteco, Uspanteko, Uspantec) is a Mayan language of Guatemala, closely related to Kʼicheʼ. It is spoken in the Uspantán and Playa Grande Ixcán municipios, in the Department El Quiché. It is also one of only four Mayan languages to have developed contrastive tone (the others being Yukatek, Mochoʼ and one dialect of Tzotzil). It distinguishes between vowels with high tone and vowels with low tone.
