Yucatec Maya Language … Names of Common Birds & Animals

June 12, 2017
Be sure to turn ON your sound … to hear the Maya pronunciations.
.
Common Birds of Yucatan

Animals of Yucatan  (Quintana Roo)

My personal favorite is Ts’unu’um … for hummingbird …

because it really does sound like them when we say Ts’unu’um aloud

emphasizing the long  ” unu’ummmm ” sound.

Enjoy !
