Central Mam (mvc) is one of the major dialect divisions of the Mam Mayan language, spoken in the central Cuchumatanes highlands of Huehuetenango department, Guatemala. With around 520,000 speakers, Central Mam is among the most vital Mayan languages alongside K'iche', Q'eqchi', and Kaqchikel. Like all Mamean languages, it features a complex set of ejective consonants (q', q, ch', tx') and a glottalized uvular series. Mam communities in Todos Santos Cuchumatán are famous for their distinctive striped red trousers worn by men and for the Skach Koyl horse race held during the All Saints' festival.
