More and more, the United States and Canada are seeing immigration from Central and South American countries. Contrary to popular belief, not all of these people are native Spanish speakers, with many of them actually speaking one of the many Mayan languages indigenous to the area.

Having listened to our customers' requests, Idiomatic is proud to announce the newest addition to the Idiomatic Translations Group cooperative -- Mayan Languages.net. By providing translation and interpretation services in over 20 Latin American indigenous languages, Mayan Languages.net and Idiomatic have firmly positioned themselves as a premier service provider in the Americas.

Why Mayan Languages?

Providing services in Mayan languages ​​is important for several reasons. First, language was an integral part of Maya culture and identity. For many, speaking their language (among many still spoken today) is a matter of pride and a way to connect with their heritage. By offering language services, you help preserve and promote the Mayan language, which is an important part of Mayan culture. 

 In addition, the Mayan language has a long and rich history, with a written tradition that goes back more than 3,500 years. There are many important documents and texts written in the Mayan language that are crucial to understanding Mayan culture and history. By providing language services, you can help increase understanding and appreciation of Mayan culture by making these texts accessible to a wider audience. 

Finally, the provision of language services could also help improve the lives of the Maya by providing them with access to important information and services in their own language. This is especially important in areas where the Mayan language is not widely spoken, as it helps ensure that Mayan speakers are not denied access to health care, education and other vital services.
