Is there some reason this hasn't been moved to Q'eqchi' (with the apostrophe/glottal stop at the end)? — MikeG (talk) 21:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
If you are a native speaker of Q'eqchi' then you can help translate this template into your own language:

The phonology table headers mention the ALMG orthography before it's discussed. So I've
In passing, I noticed and corrected a wikiformat error that broke the link to the Ethnologue entry and labeled it just "entry". (Someone used a pipe instead of a space in the external link. I've done that, or the reverse, I don't know how many times, and can only hope I caught them all.)
I should know that although I am a linguistic researcher, I know nothing specific about the Q'eqchi' language or its orthography, and in the minimal rewriting that I've done here I have assumed the likeliest meaning for one or two ambiguous expressions in the original. -- Thnidu ( talk) 02:24, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
PS: Only two in current use? One of the External Links
doesn't look like either the ALMG or SIL system. -- Thnidu ( talk) 02:29, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
The consonant table had a "Disambiguation needed" template because one of the column headers was "Alveolar affricate": unlike the other columns, and quite non-standardly, specifying a type of articulation (affricate) as well as a place (alveolar). Fixing this required considerable editing of the table, which I have done, though I have not changed any of its content (only the arrangement).
I also relabeled the bottom row from
to
and moved it up to right under the [native] "Plosive" row. And I moved the nasals down below all the obstruents, as is customary. -- Thnidu ( talk) 02:55, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I'm going to be making several substantial revisions to this page, to be completed within the next few days:

Stewart (1980) says something quite different about the dialect areas of Q'eqchi' than what is written currently in the article. I will change it to conform to what Stewart says about the two dialect groups, based on Kaufman (1976:64), although I can't retrieve which Kaufman work he is referring to. Feel free to edit accordingly if you have more information on the subject, of course. Balamcoatl ( talk) 18:02, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
I want to add the important fact that the SIL orthography, as used in Aprendamos kekchí, was the authorized alphabet of the Ministry of Education through the government agency, the Insituto Indigenista Nacional (IIN). Balamcoatl ( talk) 18:36, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

In the case of ab'oon, artal and asuukr, the possessed forms lack the glotal stop: in'ab'oon, in'artal, in'asuukr. Cmp. Sam Juárez 1997. Is this on purpose or just an oversight? You can actually hear the glotal stop when speaking. Compare this with intransitive verbs like aatinak -> nin'aatinak. No q'eqchi' syllable starts with a vowel and it is just an orthographic convention to not write the glotal stop at the beginning of a word. Once it receives a non-prevocalic prefix, the glotal stop must be written again.
It is also a bit strong to call the form in'asuukr correct and the form wasuukr wrong. It is true that one hears a lot more often in'asuukr than wasuukr, but the latter is also used. On which ground has it been decided that one is wrong and the other right?
Hi, native speaker here. There are various errors in the examples in the section "Comparison of the two major orthographies".
The verb "not to be there" is "maakʼaʼ" and not "maakʼa". Compare inkʼaʼ and kʼaʼru.
The word is "muhebʼaal" and not "muhebʼal". The suffix -bʼaal indicates place, while -bʼal is used to form the infinitive of base-derived transitive verbs.
The word is "kʼicheʼbʼaal" and not "kiʼchebal". Kʼicheʼ literally means "many trees" and the letter "b" (instead of "bʼ") doesn't even exist in Qʼeqchiʼ.
The word "laa muhebʼaal" is written separated while "aakiʼchebal" is written together. Either one writes all possessive prefixes together or all separated. The standard way taught in school is to write them together, hence: "laamuhebʼaal aakʼicheʼbʼaal".
"Petén" is simply "Peten" without an accent.
The examples should read:
Maakʼaʼ ta chinkʼul saʼ laamuhebʼaal aakʼicheʼbʼaal.
[there-is-nothing] [maybe] [may-I-receive] [in] [the-your-dark-place] [your-forest-place]
Maacʼaʼ ta chincʼul saʼ laamuhebʼaal aaqʼuicheʼbʼaal.
Yo chi amaqʼink laj Kachil Peten.
Yo chi amakʼinc laj Cachil Peten.
Thanks for your kind attention.
