Resources for Mesoamerican Languages

Post by Culden »

I'm having a bit of trouble finding good resources on languages and language families such as Uto-Aztecan and Mayan. I've tried my university library but the only book having anything to do with the subject is only tangentially related. Does anyone here know more about the subject, and could potentially point me towards some of the more authoritative works on the subject?

Do you have JSTOR access through your university? Mayan and Uto-Aztecan are two very well-researched language families. There's been a lot written on them. A substantial amount is in Spanish, though.

Scroll down to the section on Amerind. There's not much there, but it's something.

This also has some resources.

Thank you so much for the resources, though anything in Spanish will probably require me to find someone to translate it better than Google.
