K'iche' is the second-most widely spoken language in Guatemala, after Spanish. Despite this, only about 7% of the population speaks it. Philologists classify it as a member of the Mayan language group.

K'iche' is considered to be an ancient language, originating more than 4,000 years ago. The Popol Vuh, a famous book that is known as the sacred book of the Mayans, represents Mayan mythology and history. The book is written in Classical K'iche'.
