Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Macro-Mayan is a proposal linking the clearly established Mayan family with neighboring families that show similarities to Mayan. The first proposals of this hypothesis were made by Norman McQuown in 1942 who linked Mayan and Mixe-Zoquean. The hypothesis was not elaborated until 1979 when Brown and Witkowski put forth a proposal with 62 cognate sets and supposed sound correspondences between the two families. They also published two articles proposing a "Mesoamerican Phylum" composed of Maco-Mayan and other language families of Mesoamerica. These proposals was examined closely by Lyle Campbell and Terrence Kaufman who rejected the proposal completely because of serious flaws in the methodology that had been applied.
