Comments:

Yucatec is spoken in parts of the Yucatan
peninsula of Mexico. The version of Yucatec represented
here is an extremely 'nonhispanicized' one, lacking loan
segments found in other varieties. Yucatec has a two level
tone system. Straight posits two laterals and two 'n's
based on different behavior in word-final position; only
one of each is included here.
