Chicomuceltec, Huastec Maya

There are two (or possibly three) very similar variants of Huastec which are spoken in the states of Veracruz and San Luis Potosi, far from the other Mayan languages. As a result, the culture of its speakers is not typically Mayan but resembles more the culture of neighboring groups. The work done by the Summer Institute of Linguistics in Huastec of San Luis Potosi has been finished, but its work continues in the Veracruz variant(s). The possibly extinct language Chicomuceltec of Chiapas and Guatemala also belongs to this subfamily.
