The adjective '''Mayan''' is sometimes used to refer to the indigenous peoples of parts of [[Mexico]] and [[Central America]], their culture, language, and history. More formally, the use of "Mayan" is restricted to referring to an aspect of their languages; "Maya" is the adjectival form preferred when referring to non-linguistic aspects.
