The Chorti Indians of Guatemala

Description:

The Chorti area was the locale of the Old Empire Maya civilization of which Copan was the culture center. Excepting the Ladinos, it is now occupied only by Chorti, who may well be direct descendants of the pre-Conquest Copan people and whose language may be fundamentally the same as that spoken at ancient Copan. - Introduction.
