Abstract

The aim of the current study is to analyze the work of Gregorio Ramírez Donoso entitled Gramática elemental de la lengua quiche achi de Rabanal, which is an extremely valuable work conceived to expand and improve the current knowledge of Mayan languages, more specifically the Rabinal Achi. This language, spoken in Rabinal municipality (Guatemala), is an Achi dialect, a language which is in turn derived from the central K'iche' (Quiché). Hence there is the name that the author has appropriately given his work.
