* There are many Mayan languages. There are over 30 distinct Mayan languages spoken, with varying levels of usage and speakers.
* Data collection can be inconsistent. It's difficult to get accurate data on language usage in all areas where Mayan languages are spoken.
* Language shift is ongoing. Many younger generations are switching to Spanish, meaning the number of speakers of specific Mayan languages can fluctuate.
However, estimates suggest that there are likely millions of speakers of Mayan languages across Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador.
It's important to note that the number of speakers is not static, and language revitalization efforts are underway in many communities.
