Stroller Mom…continued

Stroller Mom…continued

I also pointed out the mom with the stroller to Sra. Oliver.

Sra. Oliver said that mom’s name is Sra. Sanchez, and she is from Guatemala.  Sra. Oliver said that this a large group of parents who are from Guatemala and this population does not speak Spanish or English.  Sra. Oliver mentioned a language I have never even heard of, Quiche.

According to Wikipedia:

The K'iche' language (Quiché in Spanish, Qatzijob'al or "our language" to its speakers) is a part of the Mayan language family. It is spoken by many K'iche' people in the central highlands of Guatemala. With close to a million speakers (some 7% of Guatemala's population), it is the second-most widely spoken language in the country after Spanish. Most speakers of K'iche' also have at least a working knowledge of Spanish except in some isolated rural villages.
