Xinca People Lambert M. Surhone, Miriam T. Timpledon, Susan F. Marseken Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Xinca are a non-Mayan indigenous people of Mesoamerica, with communities in the southern portion of Guatemala, near its border with El Salvador, and in the mountainous region to the north. Their language (the Xinca language) is generally classed as a language isolate with no demonstrated affiliations with other language families, although a relationship with Lenca has been proposed. The Xinka are considered to be the oldest inhabitants of southeastern Guatemala. The Xinka themselves spell their name with a 'k' rather than with a 'c'. |
