[2] Poqomam is spoken in the following municipalities of Escuintla, Jalapa, and Guatemala departments (Variación Dialectal en Poqom, 2000).

In the journal Natural Language & Linguistic Theory[4] it is noted that if subjects are realized as negative indefinite pronouns, they may also trigger agent focus.

The Mayan languages differ with respect to the degree of how obligation for agent focus.

In the 1996 Peace Accords the idea of officializing or co-officializing Mayan languages was introduced.

This is a considerable change from the Guatemalan Constitution, which only recognizes indigenous languages as a part of the "national patrimony."
