About the Kaqchikel language.
Kaqchikel is one of the most widely spoken Mayan languages of Guatemala. It is spoken in the central highlands, in Chimaltenango, Sacatepéquez around Antigua, and Sololá on the shores of Lake Atitlán, and by Guatemalan communities in the United States. It is written in the Latin alphabet.
Kaqchikel spelling follows the standard of Guatemala's Academy of Mayan Languages, with an apostrophe for glottalised consonants. Its regional varieties differ, so we match the translator to your readers. K'iche' and Q'eqchi' have their own pages. Kaqchikel is also the language of the Annals of the Kaqchikels, a chronicle written in the language in the colonial period.
Guatemalan official documents are issued in Spanish, which we also translate. Kaqchikel work is usually interpreting for immigration, court and medical appointments, and health, education and community information.
We translate and interpret in both directions, including Kaqchikel into English or Spanish. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
