Qa’yol language
Awakatek (Awakateko, Aguacateco, Aguacatec, Awakatek, Aguateco, Awaketec, Coyotin, Chalchitec, Wkateko, Awaketeco, Balamiha, autonym: Qa’yol), is the Greater Mamean Mayan language spoken by 11,000 people in Aguacatán (in Huehuetenango in Guatemala), and in Mexico (Chiapas and Veracruz). Because of its small number of speakers, this language, close to ixil, is considered endangered by UNESCO.
