Glyphs

Glyphs are the writing system that were used historically throughout the Maya area. The Copan Ruinas are considered to be Ch’orti’ in origin.
There are many texts that go into detail regarding the complexity of Maya Glyphs. This includes the artistic aspects, how it’s read, and the grammatical aspects of the language. In the modern day, there are people in Maya communities that are adapting glyphs as an alternate writing system for modern day Maya descended languages like Ch’orti’.
