| Description | This collection contains materials related to Terrence Kaufman's work with the Francisco Marroquín Linguistic Project, a private, autonomous, secular, Guatemalan non-profit association often referred to in English by its Spanish acronym PLFM (Proyecto Lingüístico Francisco Marroquín). These materials date from 1970 to 1978 and concern linguistic research on Guatemala's indigenous languages (chiefly its Mayan languages), the planning and management of aspects of the PLFM's activities, and the training of native speakers of Guatemala's indigenous languages to perform linguistic analysis and development. Note that many languages are identified throughout this collection with spellings and names that are have since fallen into disuse (e.g. Cakchiquel for Kaqchikel). This collection contains 102 folders of 420 digital documents. The folders in this collection generally fall into one of three categories: Materials related to the Guatemalan Mayan Dialect Survey, materials about the PLFM itself, and materials about particular languages or subsets of Mayan languages (either analytical documents or records of the languages). The Guatemalan Mayan Dialect Survey features the following numbers of surveys in each of these languages:
