Answer 3

Although the official language is Spanish, it is not universally spoken among the indigenous population, nor is it often spoken as a second language; Twenty-one distinct Mayan languages are spoken, especially in rural areas, and Garifuna is spoken by a small number of people on the Caribbean coast. Xinca, a nearly-extinct non-Mayan language, is also indigenous to Guatemala. Twenty-three languages are recognized as National Languages according to DECRETO NÚMERO 19-2003.

The Peace Accords signed in December 1996 provide for the translation of some official documents and voting materials into several indigenous languages (see summary of main substantive accords), and mandate the provision of interpreters in legal cases for non Spanish speakers. The accord also sanctioned the teaching of bilingual education in Spanish and indigenous languages. It is common for indigenous Guatemalans to learn or speak between two to five of the nation's other languages, including Spanish.
