Sipakapense

Sipacapense is a Mayan language. It is closely related to Quiche, and some people consider it a dialect of Quiche.

Sipacapense is spoken by about 7000 people in Guatemala. It is primarily based in the municipality of Sipacapa in the department of San Marcos.

            Sipakapense is also known as Sipaka, Sipacapa, Sipacapa Quiché, Sipacapense or Sipacapeño. The name Sipakapense comes from the Nahuatl Sipaktlipan, and means "place of the lizard".

Sipakapense is written with the Latin alphabet, although few Sipakapense speakers are literate in their language. It is an officially recognized language in Guatemala.
