[5] Guatemalan Spanish uses vos, alongside tú and usted as second-person singular pronouns.

In Guatemala and El Salvador, indefinite articles are commonly placed before a possessive pronoun, as in una mi tacita de café lit.

Very rarely a demonstrative can go before the possessive pronoun, like aquella su idea lit.

[10] A number of words are widely used in Guatemala which have Mayan or other native origins such as names for flora, fauna and toponyms.

[citation needed] The words used to describe children (or kids) vary among the countries in Central America; in Guatemala, they are often called patojos.
