Resumen
HOFLING, Charles Andrew. The diachronic change of the Yucatecan linguistic family. Cuad. Lingüíst. Col. Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.1, pp.6-46. ISSN 2007-736X. https://doi.org/10.24201/clecm.v5i1.95.
This study presents a sketch of the history of the languages of the Yucatecan branch and how the linguistic differences of the current languages reflect their histories. Based on a comparative study of the actual languages, one may trace the differences of phonology and morphosyntax that developed in each language since the Proto-Yucatecan of 950 CE. Innovations among members of the branch are shown, which reflect separations of groups, including migrations, principally from the north to the south. Also evidence, principally lexical evidence, is shown of contacts of members of the branch with one another and with speakers of Ch’olan languages. The result is that each language of the branch has unique characteristics and shared characteristics, which reflect their distinct histories.
