We presented at Instituto Municipal para el Fortalecimiento de la Cultura Maya and demonstrated how Ancient Maya App starts to bring the Maya language and modern technology together. Everyone enjoyed seeing how to read and write some basic words. After the presentation a woman came up intent to speak with us. She explained the app’s Write feature failed to her great niece’s name “Zazil”. It failed badly. She was proud of her great niece’s name and needed to know what was wrong. Our friend Maria who teaches at the Instituto and is very clever instantly understood the problem. Maria changed the each Z to an S and that worked perfectly with the app’s definitions of the phonetic sounds. I know know Zazil was also an important history figure. Here is her name and our new friend’s great nieces name written in the traditional way.
