his text reproduces a conversation held between a man who speaks Yucatec Maya and a woman whose language is Mopan Maya. A third person, a Kekchi speaking woman who also knows Yucatec Maya and Mopan Maya, helps the other two in their efforts to understand each other. Such a process of linguistic contact, which implies a strong influence of Maya Yucatec upon Mopan Maya, is actually taking place in Northern Belize.
