Yucatec Maya Sign Language Research Project began informally in 2009 with the support of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (Holland). In 2013, the project beneficiated from the support of CIESAS and INALI, a documentation project with a team that has been increasing and a manifold of scientific output.
Parting from the experience in the research project Dr. Le Guen tells us about how the Yucatec Maya community out of its cultural tradition, how it integrates people with hearing disability without creating distinctions or barriers and doing so spontaneously. In many way, the creation of Yucatec Maya Sign Language as a language does not separate from the Mayan culture and concepts.
