Chorti is a Mayan language spoken in parts of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador by about 55,000 people. Chorti is also known as Ch'orti' Maya. Chorti is spoken mainly in Jocotán and Camotán in Chiquimula department in Guatemala, and in neighbouring parts of Honduras.
Chorti is though to be a direct descendent of the Classic Maya language, which was used in the Mayan Script, and knowledge of Chorti helped with the decipherment of the script.
