One of my classmates is studying kaqchikel because his entire family is kaqchikel- yet no one speaks it. Hundreds of live relatives, and he wants to be the first. Se lo me impresa mucho. I can't imagine what language would be my equivalent- polish, scottish, russian? Yet I know how much cultural heritage is preserved through language. Maybe I should be speaking all of the above, and Italian of course.
