| Description | This collection contains materials collected by Terrence Kaufman during his research on Mayan languages. These materials were gathered from 1959 to 2004, with most materials dating from 1960 to 1993. These materials include texts and data gathered by Kaufman himself (especially for Huasteco, Tzeltal, Mochó and Tzotzil), secondary works incorporating published and unpublished data gathered by others (e.g. papers working out the classification of the family), and primary data collected by others and given to Kaufman. Most Mayan languages are represented in this collection, however, many are only represented by a relatively small number of forms (taken from published or unpublished sources) in comparative works, or are materials that were not collected by Kaufman himself, but were found among his papers. Below is a list of the numbers of folders in this collection in or about the named languages. Many folders contain comparative works and are labeled with more than one language, hence the totals here exceed the number of folders in the collection.This collection contains 593 folders of 410 audio recordings and 950 documents
Interactive Google maps showing locations of languages present in this and other Terrence Kaufman collections in AILLA are available Most items in this collection are Public Access, whereas a few are Restricted. Refer to AILLA's Access Levels and Conditions of Use for more information. Materials related to Kaufman's work on Mayan languages as part of other organized projects can be found in their respective collections Project for the Documentation of the Languages of MesoAmerica Collection Francisco Marroquín Linguistic Project Yokot'an (Tabasco Chontal) Dialect Survey The digitization and preservation of this collection was supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS-1157867. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. |

- Achí of San Miguel Chicaj, Rabinal and Cubulco - Notes and word lists
- ACR003R004I001: A 3-ring binder containing notes and word lists in Kaufman's handwriting, dated 1970. The dialect is Rabinal Achí. ACR003R004I006: These notes are about Cubulco Achí. Most of these notes were handwritten by Kaufman. He uses an Americanist orthography in the first four pages; thereafter he uses an SIL orthography, perhaps because he was working with a consultant who was trained by the SIL. The pages that are written in cursive were not written by Kaufman; these are pages 23-29, 38, 41 and 43 and they were likely written by the consultant. One of the language consultants was Miguel Ángel Gonzales Matías., ACR003R004I001: Una carpeta de 3 anillos que contiene notas y listas de palabras en la escritura de Kaufman, fechada en 1970. El dialecto es Achí de Rabinal. ACR003R004I006: Este documento se trata el Achí de Cubulco. La mayoría de estas notas fueron escritas a mano por Kaufman. Él usa una ortografía americanista en las primeras cuatro páginas; a partir de la página 5, utiliza una ortografía del ILV, tal vez porque estaba trabajando con un consultante lingüístico capacitado por el ILV. Las páginas que están escritas en cursiva no fueron escritas por Kaufman; estas son las páginas 23-29, 38, 41 y 43 y es probable que hayan sido escritas por el consultant. Un de los consultantes lingüísticos fue Miguel Ángel Gonzales Matías., San Miguel Chicaj Rabinal; Cubulco, A00749.tif
