Abstract

This chapter examines the current state of comparative linguistics applied to the ten language families and isolates of Mesoamerica. The classification of the Mesoamerican languages is well established and the reconstruction of the proto-languages is advanced. Proposals of distant genetic relationship involving languages of Mesoamerica are evaluated. Remaining tasks and some issues are identified and discussed together with recommendations for future research.
