Don, <br><br>On the outside chance that you are still searching for assistance, I forwarded your message to a local individual who may be able to provide help or point you in the right direction. Here is what he said:<br><br>
<font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">"If the person is a speaker of Yucatec Maya I may be able to help.
If not I might be able to orient them as to who to contact concerning the
other Maya languages. You can pass along my contact information to the person
if that would help.</span></font><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">"<br><br>All the

<p>I've received a request for help for an 18 year old Mayan
speaker in Florida who has little Spanish or English. Is anyone aware of
resources - human, material, or online - for speakers of Mayan languages in the
US?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any leads.</p>
